By Mary Grady, Contributing editor

Does it make sense that pilots need a third-class medical to fly even th= e smallest GA aircraft, while drivers can get a license to drive vehicles th= at 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 rule. Wartofs= ky, the owner of Potomac Airfield, near Washington, D.C., is used to taking o= n the government bureaucracy and seems ready for a new challenge. He suggest= s the FARs should be changed to require all pilots to have a valid driver's l= icense, but no medical requirement for piloting an aircraft less than 6,000 p= ounds max gross weight. "People are in more danger from passing vehicles on t= he road, than small aircraft passing overhead," says Wartofsky. He has poste= d his petition to the FAA online, and encourages supporters to submit commen= ts to the FAA docket.
