To the Learned Ones:It seems ironic that many of the people waiting for the Sport Pilot Licensewere pilots who had had a run in with FAA on their medicals. It seems like Idetect a whisper of death with the one clause that states pilots who havebeen turned down by FAA must get a one time approval. Why in the world wouldanyone think they would issue a special approval when they grounded thepilots in the first place. They are people who have a job and probably mostof the FAA medical people don't fly and do not understand the passion ofpilots. It seems ironic that what has been waited for in great anticipationseems to have a dark cloud hovering over that dream of flying again. Doesanyone have any inside knowledge on this matter? Will FAA be moreunderstanding in this special approval or will they be their same oldselves? Just feel the great excitement I have heard from grounded pilots hasbeen somewhat shattered.Doyle CombsN13708________________________________________________________________________________
