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

John, I think we are talking about two different things. A
"discontinuance" is when the flight doc asks you to go get more tests
and you fail to do so. That counts as a "fail." I think you are just
talking about letting it lapse which is perfectly OK.
