Medan jag är tacksam för att den tredje klassens medicinska reform har gått, har jag för närvarande en särskild utgivande medicin som FAA har granskat i flera månader. Detta går runt, de begärde ytterligare dokumentation ytterligare fördröja processen.
Jag är för närvarande en privat pilot. Men flygplanet som jag flyger uppfyller kraven för att kunna flyga av en rekreationspilot. Titta på FAR 61.96, det ser inte ut som att jag kan "nedgradera" mitt certifikat med ytterligare ett rekreationspilotbetyg per:
§ 61.96 Applicability and eligibility requirements: General.
(b) To be eligible for a recreational pilot certificate, a person who applies >for that certificate must:
(1) Be at least 17 years of age;
(2) Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language. If the >applicant is unable to meet one of these requirements due to medical reasons, >then the Administrator may place such operating limitations on that applicant's >pilot certificate as are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft;>
(3) Receive a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who -
(i) Conducted the training or reviewed the applicant's home study on the >aeronautical knowledge areas listed in § 61.97(b) of this part that apply to >the aircraft category and class rating sought; and

Specifikt (9). Finns det ett sätt att jag kan utöva privilegierna för en rekreationspilot? Jag är villig att ta ett annat kunskapstest / checkride. Tack!
