I think the original proposed was 1250 to mirror the European number but their was enough lobbying that it got raised.

This whole issue could have been made much simpler and just as effectve in my mind if the medical issue were defined along the lines you suggest.

I can drive a 20 ton motorhome, towing a car, at high speed and in dense traffic  - no medical required. But cannot fly a 2000# airplane in big skies without a medical.

Also, they could have easily been more inclusive of 2 place airplanes: including the Cessnas 120,140,150 & 152 would have really made this sweet - and what of the 100-300 pond difference?

Bah!
