Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Sport pilot getting Private Pilot license, interesting issues?



Yes.  Remember this endorsement predates sport pilot.  Before profieciency checks came into being under the sport pilot rules, how did you get signed off to fly a trike or gyroplane? Unless it fit in part 103 (which doesn't need a sign off), it would have been nearly impossible to find anyone who could sign you legally sign you off to transition to this model. This still wouldn't let you carry a passenger but at least gave a CFI privilages similar to a proficiency check for solo.

Interesting, though.

It means in theory if a CFI endorsed a sport pilot to solo as you described on a Skyhawk , or whatever, that sport pilot could fly that non LSA aircraft and any of the same model forever.... As long she/he carried no passengers.

Earlier I asked....
> The typical (standard) student pilot solo endorsement is limited to , IIRR, within 50 miles of the home airport, only that airport unless otherwise specified, and only good for 90 days.
> Would the “ENDORSEMENT FOR A RATED PILOT SOLOING AN AIRCRAFT FOR WHICH YOU ARE NOT RATED” include any such limitations by default, or would it, unless otherwise stated, basically make the pilot legal for flying that aircraft within normal limitations (that is VFR if they’re so rated, any airport they’re otherwise legal for, etc.)?

".....No, but a flight instructor would be pretty foolish not to include some limitations."
