Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group 3rd Class medical

If you had a private pilot certificate, then you still have it. No need
to get a new rating unless you buzzed the white house. Did you fail or
discontinue your last medical? If not, you can reactive your
certificate simply with a flight review and an application for a new
plastic version of your license. You only need the medical if you wish
to exercise private privileges or if you failed or discontinued your
last medical.

I am 1 yr from a cancer cure, 4 yrs of clean tests from tongue cancer. The Cancer is all gone BUT left me with some speech limitations, so I am thinking LSA. The FAA wants me to pass a 3rd class medical 1 time, and a LSA lic is no problem with NO future medicals needed. SO, if I can get a 3rd class medical, why would I want the LSA rating?. I can buy a super clean used Piper 180 for half the cost of a new LSA. The rentals of LSAs are $5 @ hr less than a 172 !. I will take the medical, hopefully pass, but then should I go LSA of just my private? Would like some opinions as I just keep going round and round in my own mind...thanks
