IF it is controlled in a predictable way and you have a proven track record you would think that some good case could be made.

I agree

No.. 4 injections on insulin a day took that possibility out of the equation for me... Have to say, the need for this medical for the new CTA endorsement was a pain for me, Im shortly to move to Coffs Harbour. There is a complet lack of ultralight friendly facilities in the area and coffs is class D for tower hours.... I guess I'll have to speak lovingly to the bank manager and see if I can make do with 70 or so acres out west of coffs in class G friendly skys....Ive heard that some Type 1 diabetics have fought and won the medical, but as I understand each win does nothing in setting a precedent and everyone after has to repeat the entire fight... not something Im keen to do. The unfortunate fact is that its the case of the lowest common demonimator applying again because that is the easiest thing to do.

I thought it would be interesting to know how many people have been effected by Casa's recent decision to make the class 2 medical mandatroy for controlled airspace.
