Here's a question no one has asked yet. And I hate to put it in such terms. Why are you going to continue flying if you are haveing seziures? You would be breaking regs every single time you fly having a known medical condition. And thats the light part of the deal.

Haveing a seziure while flying is potentially fatal not only for you, but for those around you. Imagine turning final, haveing a seziure and flying into someones house who lives under the approach path of the airport youare flying to. It's a cold hard reality that you should give up flying. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you need to accept the facts. Do us all a favor, and don't tarnish the already bad rap of aviation, even if it's for nothing more than to save the lives of others round you.

I hate being the FAR Nahzi

61.53 (b) Operations that do not require a medical certificate. For operations provided for in §61.23(b) of this part, a person shall not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember, while that person knows or has reason to know of any medical condition that would make the person unable to operate the aircraft in a safe manner.

And 61.23 (c)Operations requiring either a medical certificate or U.S. driver's license(2)(iv) Not know or have reason to know of any medical condition that would make that person unable to operate a light-sport aircraft in a safe manner.


Since you now know you have a defecenciy, you are not eligible to act as a sport pilot.
