I think you're asking a bit much of Nathan. His brother is about to explode any second. He goes with what he knows, which is flying.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
He saw Peter dead and then alive again after the glass shard was removed, so he knew that an object, whether a bullet or some other materiel, inserted at that point would render Peter dead.
but he didn't see Claire remove it, and he may not have made the connection between that particular spot and death. of course, Peter could have told him off screen.
Do WE even know it was the particular spot? I thought the problem was "foreign body impedes regeneration".
And seriously, if you've been denying your powers as much as Nathan has, are you really paying that much attention to "Oh, my brother should be able to fly now; why hasn't he?"
I mistyped fly as flay and had a weird BUFFY flashback. Hope Sylar never thinks of that pre-emptive move (since it doesn't affect the brain).

I think it's foreign body in the brain halts regeneration. We know from Sylar's antics that the powers have to do with the way the brain works

Exactly. I don't think Nathan was carefully examining all his options. More an instinctive response. It read very natural to me.
Although Sylar shouldn't survive since he was the big bad of season 1, he can be destroyed by the big bad of next season. That would be a satisfying plot for me. (I'll still miss his evil ways)
I think it's foreign body in the brain halts regeneration.
right. Didn't Claire get speared by something and just pull it out?
She got a tree branch in the brain, and didn't revive until the coroner pulled it out. (Imagine the report that woman had to write...)
no, I mean before or after that. something through the hand?
Presumably HRG had the Haitian remove the coroner's inconvenient memories....
