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

Guys, as I mentioned in my last post, the general rules for the drivers
license medical do not necessarily apply to someone with a speech
impediment. Jim's DPE may be correct in that he needs a SODA which
involves a 3rd class medical. He needs to contact AFS 610 on Monday for
a definitive answer.
