Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR SLSA

You are STILL a PP although you can only operate under the limitations of a SP.
Your license says you are a PP not a SP but since you do not have a medical (or BFR) you can
not exercise the privileges of you license. You can exercise the privileges of a SP even
though you are not a SP. But you are limited to the privileges of an SP. Which means no
night or IFR but you can fly into B/C/D space because SP's are allowed that. They are just
required to have logbook entries authorizing those, but your PP license already gives you
those so you do not need a log entry. You still need a BFR!
