But not to worry, it's not too late.You and Stella can still answer him directly and fill this thread out to 200 or 300 posts as usual. Arguing the fine points of yanking the medical of thousands of healthy pilots, just because of their age, could make a really nice fire that would undoubtedly burn for days. So by all means, have at it. You really couldn't be this stupid, could you? Lou No, but apparently you could. |

"John Godwin" wrote I have a Special Issuance wherein the FAA required documentation from each of my two physicians. My Medical Group charges nearly $100 per "official" letter and then there's the AME fee. I felt that a little under $300 each year was a tad much at this time so it may well be that it's time to hang up the spurs or do other flying alternatives. Go find you a sexy little experimental homebuilt that fits in the Light Sport class. No more medicals! -- Jim in NC |

The point is that Fed/FAA gets aggressive, age could come into question regardless. For that matter, why not a local port like Vegas throwing up their own rules? Because local airports can't make special rules just for them that are contrary to FAA rules. -- Jim Pennino Good point. I wonder, are there any potential local, non FAA regs that could workaround this ? Are you familiar with the terms "Supremacy Clause" and "Federal Preemption"? I'm familiar with "we don't rent airplanes to over 70s" which would be a potential workaround the FAA. Apples and oranges. What a private business does within the framework of discrimination laws is entirely up to the private business. The FBO may not rent to over 70 (never heard of such a thing in airplanes), but the airport certainly can't ban over 70. If anyone cared to press the point, I doubt that such practices by car rental agencies would stand a court test. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

More than that, I recently soloed an ultralight helicopter where the only check out possible was to get the numbers for rpm and egt. If they are going to put age limits on flying, they better start with age limits for people driving and especially driving those huge motor homes just a few feet from my car at closing velocities around 150mph and better. Apples and oranges imo Stu-Kath. It wouldn't be IMO. I have a much greater fear of getting creamed head on, than dodging falling private aircraft. From behind the keyboard at mommy's house there's not much chance either way, Maxie. |

Yes. Not sure, but he is retired from air shows. Yes - he got a medical in Austrailia and continued with air shows for a while (just not in the US). The FAA finally conceeded to restoring his medical after a round through the courts. "If they can do it to Bob Hoover, they can do it to anyone." On what basis did they deny his medical in the U.S.? |

Considering present regulations, the engine to implement such a plan would be extremely difficult to design and push through the required legislation. Can't argue with this, don't have the expertise. You're doing well :-)) lol |
