Question of the Week

EAA and AOPA will propose to the FAA that the driver's license medical that now applies to Sport Pilot certificate holders be expanded, and their initial suggestion is that it be limited to the ability to fly four-place aircraft (with one passenger) having 180 horsepower or less, fixed gear, day VFR. What do you think?

What do you think of AOPA and EAA's joint attempt to reform the third class medical?

It's a solid compromise that will get more people flying, and that's what we need.

The general idea is good, but the equipment and performance restrictions are too conservative.

The third class medical should be abolished, period.

The equipment and performance restrictions under the proposal are too liberal.

The third class medical serves a valuable purpose and should be retained as it is.
