'I learned a lot about myself'
Thanks for the motivation
THE WEIGHT OFF my shoulders of studying and
only focusing on flying so much is wonderful. I
learned a lot about myself and the community. A
big thank you to Girls With Wings for the scholarship and the many others who have helped push
me along this path. We should always continue
learning and keep pushing ourselves. I hope to
keep others motivated on their journeys of flight.

wind, not with it."-Henry Ford

FAA announces rulemaking on third class medical
Driver's license could be considered instead
THE FAA ON April 2 announced
plans to go through a rulemaking process that could result in
expanding the number of pilots
eligible to fly without the need for
a third class medical certificate.
The announcement comes two
years after AOPA and the Experimental Aircraft Association jointly
petitioned the FAA to expand the
third class medical exemption to
cover more pilots and aircraft.
The rulemaking effort, which
the FAA is calling the "Private
Pilot Privileges without a Medical
Certificate" project, will consider

"THIS RULEMAKING ANNOUNCEMENT
IS THE NEXT IMPORTANT STEP ALONG
A PATH THAT WE SINCERELY HOPE WILL
ALLOW MORE PILOTS TO FLY."

whether to allow private pilots to
fly without a third class medical
certificate in certain circumstances. Instead, pilots will be able
to use other criteria, including a
valid driver's license, to demonstrate their fitness to fly. The
agency offered no other details of
the planned rulemaking.
As part of the announcement,
the FAA said it will consider
whether it can safely provide any
relief to the medical requirement
before the rulemaking process is
complete. The agency also said
it is still considering the AOPAEAA petition, which received
16,000 overwhelmingly positive
comments.
AOPA President Mark Baker
made pursuing the medical
exemption a top priority when he
took the reins at AOPA in Septem-

ber 2013, and the association has
pushed the FAA for a response to
its petition and sought assistance
from Congress.
"This rulemaking announcement is the next important step
along a path that we sincerely
hope will allow more pilots to fly
without the expense and frustration of the medical certification
process," said Baker. "For a
decade, sport pilots have flown
safely without third class medical
certificates, and we're confident
private pilots can do the same.
This issue is a top priority for
our members and we appreciate the FAA's decision to move
forward with rulemaking. We
will continue to work with FAA,
Congress, and our members to
complete this process as quickly
as possible."
