pilots that lost medicals are you on the LSA group?

So if I lose my medical, do I not know or have reason to know of "any
medical condition that would affect" my ability to operate a light-sport
aircraft?

Not necessarily. The FAA has to operate for the worst case, then add a
fudge factor.

I admit that most pilots would operate for the best case, and convince
themselves that they are safe when they're not. But the FAA has
limited the possibilities for damage. The plane can't weigh more than
a J-3 Piper Cub, which was once known as "the plane that can almost
kill you."

My instructor once pointed out that he felt safer in the sky with a
klutzy student than he did driving down the road and having the same
student coming at him in the opposite lane at a closing speed of 120
mph.

Really? Can you point to the reg in Part 103 that prevents someone
from operating an ultralight for medical reasons?

Who said anything about ultralights?

And here we see Mr. Duniho pontificating at his best. Despite the fact
that the final Sport Pilot rule has not been published, and, hence, no
one knows what the final rule says about medical requirements, he
somehow has the ability to not only speculate, but actually predict
what will be decided.

It hasn't been finalized, no. But to say it hasn't been published is pretty
silly. We have had a pretty good idea of what is likely to be in the final
rulemaking for some time now. In particular, we have every reason to expect
the medical requirements will be more like those required for glider and
balloon ratings, than for flying ultralights.

No need to reply since you already know what the future holds...

Ahh, but do YOU know?
