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

By the way:
Acorrding to one of the aeromedical experts I spoke to:

If you EVER had ANY cancer (with the possible exception of some skin cancers) -- even 40 years ago and are completely cured with no hint of any problems from it ever -- the local aeromedical examiner can NOT pass you. He/she must kick your application up the chain to the FAA and they WILL make you jump through time consuming and expensive hoops to get approved.
If an applicant does not mention the cancer in their application and it ever comes to the attention of the FAA (a reference to it in some other medical record of yours) they will revoke your license. One expert on this topic told me the FAA has even revoked licenses for such ommissions in cases where the ommission was clearly both minor and unintentional.
