SUPPORT THIS PETITION TO DOT
Amending 3rd Class Medical only needed for
aircraft over 6,000 lbs Google Search FAA 2009 0481 or Regulations.gov
Based on independent risks analysis for
personal automobiles of comparable weight
The following petition was submitted to DOT - FAA
2009-0481 - SEE LINKS BELOW
I don't suggest there is NO medical risk flying a small
private aircraft
Merely that the public safety risk is LOWER than for anyone
driving a private automobile
Society accepts the risk of driver incapacitation through the medical requirements for a driver's license
The LESSER risk of flying a small private aircraft should be
managed proportionally
Freedom should not be taken away so easily, just because it
can
Write your Congressmen and
Senators - FAA Administrator Babbit: Ask 'WHY NOT?'
