>It is good that the max altitude limit is now 10k or 2k above the ground, which ever is higher, however; certain commenters gave convincing arguments that it should be anything below class A airspace, especially as rec pilots are not so limited and we are all required to have training in hypoxia, etc.
Rec pilots also have the same 10,000/2,000 limit, which is one reason the FAA probably didn't want to give SP any more than "rec" without changing Rec. Ironically, the FAA themselves PROPOSED 10,000/2,000 in their original Sport Pilot NPRM. They "removed" the 2,000 part in the final release of SP, only to bring it back again, with this change.
