According to your original post you already had your SEL IE private license.
If that is the case and you let your medical expire and never attempted to
renew it then you do not need to do anything to fly as a SP...
SA (Special Issuance) is a type of MEDICAL it is NOT a license.
So the question is do you currently have a private pilot license, regardless
of status of medical.
