NTSB Blames Pair of Experimental LSA Crashes on Medical Issues

Both pilots had previously been issued medical certificates, which had subsequently expired. In both cases, the pilots had histories of severe coronary artery disease, which may have precluded reissuance of 3rd Class Medical Certificates.
