3rd Class Denied

We've had "students" denied a Class III or higher medical for medications they are taking. Think... ADHD..
I'm sorry, but any person with ADHD, especially with adult ADHD is not a good candidate for any rating. Hopefully the instructors see the problems and have a good chat with the prospective pilot. The problems normally show themselves, especially under stress.

If a person is asthmatic, or has irregular heartbeats, etc., subject to panic attacks... do you really want them as PIC of any aircraft?

So, depending on why the Class III was denied, sure, you could probably fly gliders. But you need to know why the Class III was denied, and what that medical condition really means when attempting to pilot any aircraft.
