Oh yeah, that thought was definately on my mind when I decided to go for the new medical instead of just letting it lapse. As it was, I could still fly SportPlanes with a lapsed medical. Now that I've applied I MIGHT loose that privelige!
But I looked at all the info online and decided to give it a try. There are a lot of disqualifying conditions that CAN BE allowed if you and your doctor can show that the condition has been mitigated and you can safely operate an aircraft. I made an appointment with my favorite AME for a consultation about what would be needed what my chances were for a favorable decision. I followed her instructions and so far it's looking good. <fingers crossed>
IF they disapprove, then it's back to the ultralights... that ain't so bad either :)
