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. Any IFR rated pilot can take that sport aircraft and fly it IFR. Any Private Pilot can take that sport aircraft and fly it night or day.   My message said no such thing...   You are NOT a Private Pilot if you do not have a current Medical.  You are a Sport Pilot.  You may have held a Private Pilot before, but you degrade down to a Sport Pilot when you the following things exist:   1.  Let your Medical Expire.   2.  Your license is not revoked in any way.   3.  Your drivers license is not revoked in any way.    If you lose your medical during a checkup, you lost your ability to fly *any* airplane except for Ultralights.   Until you get your medical back, you are ONLY a Sport Pilot, NOT a private Pilot.  It is one of the reasons they use the word Sport instead of Private.                       Dwayne Great to hear from ya! --- On Wed, 9/2/09, dongeneda2000 <DonGeneda@bigfoot.com> wrote: From: dongeneda2000 <DonGeneda@bigfoot.com> Subject: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR SLSA To: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 12:00 PM   Aw you are just saying that cause I can't see at night anymore :-(.

Any Sport Rated Pilot (for that type of aircraft) is limited to daytime only, and restricted from entering class B and C airspace unless they have an endorsement for such airspace.
