PPLs non disclosure?

43inches, with respect, not sure why PPLs would be less likely to disclose medical conditions, CPLs and ATPLs would have more to lose and generally fly far more hours than the PPL who only flys when the spirit moves.

Be that as it may, making comparison to the risks of driving v. flying, consider that most PPLs would be in cars a lot more hours than flying. I think we all accept the incalculably small risk that we might be harmed due to someone’s medical incapacitation on or near our roads, noting that medicos and the system do prevent some people from driving.

I think it’s also AVMAD’s intention to protect the public from falling Cessnas due to medical incapacitation. I have a better idea, install meteor shields over all public spaces.
