Time To Ditch FAA Medicals?

October 27, 2010
By Mary Grady, Contributing editor

Does it make sense that pilots need a third-class medical to fly eve= n the smallest GA aircraft, while drivers can get a license to drive vehic= les that weigh much more without a checkup? David Wartofsky doesn't think= it makes sense at all, and he has petitioned the FAA to reconsider its ru= le. Wartofsky, the owner of Potomac Airfield, near Washington, D.C., is us= ed to taking on the government bureaucracy and seems ready for a new chall= enge. He suggests the FARs should be changed to require all pilots to have= a valid driver's license, but no medical requirement for piloting an airc= raft less than 6,000 pounds max gross weight. "People are in more danger= from passing vehicles on the road, than small aircraft passing overhead,"= says Wartofsky. He has posted his petition to the FAA online, and encoura= ges supporters to submit comments to the FAA docket.
