Help With Medical Problem Identified During Medical Exam

Finally, I think the sport pilot rules eliminating the need for a
medical exam are not wise and will prove to be a taint on GA. People
who should not be flying solo for medical should not be flying solo.

Well, the CAA here in the UK disagree with you. For a while now
they've had the NPPL which is a National PPL. This doesn't require
a medical, just a note from your doctor that you're fit to drive a
lorry (truck for you US people!).

"The reason for this change is because the CAA Medical Division
believes that an accurate knowledge of a pilot's medical history is
often more likely than a physical examination to predict the risk of
a future in-flight medical incapacitation. "

Under ICAO rules, for a full PPL which allows you to fly anywhere
in the world, you have to have a medical, that's why they keep the
requirement.
