Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR SLSA

Aw you are just saying that cause I can't see at night anymore :-(. I
don't intentionally fly at night anyway, but would be nice to be legal on
those times when the sun quits sooner than your flight plan, and you need to
land at night. I guess it would not be the first time I had to cheat a
little bit.
I thought that was the case, but this post from Dwayne inndicated
differently:

"The limitations of flying are controlled by your license.

JB: Instead of thinking of your "license", think in term of "privileges"
and I think it will become more clear. You are limited to whatever
privileges you have. For example, let's say you are a commercial pilot. To
exercise commercial privileges, you must have a Class II physical. One year
(end of month) after the physical, it becomes a Class III. SInce you need a
Class II to exercise privileges, you can now only exercise Private
privileges even though you have a Commercial License. When the date comes
for your Class III to expire (varies with age) you now have no valid
physical and are now limited to Sport Pilot Privileges. It matters not that
you have a Commercial License, without a physical you are limited to SP
privileges. You have had BCD airspace training (you are a Commercial Pilot,
after all) so you still have that privilege because that is a training
limitation and SPs can do it with training. However, SPs are limited to 3
miles vis, no night, no above 10k, no international. And some other
limitations as well. So that's the legality.
