Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Medical Inquiry



As far as being a sport pilot. As long as you have a drivers license and have not been denied a medical you can qualify to fly as a sport pilot. As far as insurance more qualified and knowledgeable people will have to bring their opionion.

I am one of those pilots that feel he could not pass a medical, so am interested in remaining a pilot - a sport pilot!
I am 72, have not actually failed a medical, but have an ICD (Pacemaker and defibrillator combination) and am a diabetic, controlled by medications, no insulin, as well as the heart health problems that goes along with that.
I think I can squeak by legally on the medical requirements of a Sport Pilot, but heard today that getting insurance would be nearly impossible, had not thought of that hurdle, I understand they grill you pretty thoroughly on health history.
Has anyone information to share about this, would insurance be impossible to get?
