Default 3rd class medical rumors

"I think the FAA is actually starting to float the idea of either dropping
or relaxing third class medicals."

We can only hope...and maybe write our Congressperson.

If the 3rd Class medical requirement were removed, wonder what that
would do to the LSA market.

I would be very surprised if the 3rd class medical went away but not surprised
at major revisions that put it somewhere between what it is now and the LSA
requirements.

In either case I doubt it would have a very large effect on the LSA market
as where else can you buy a new, 2 place aircraft that is really cheap to
fly for a bit over $100k?
