Correct to some extent, however you cannot test for a Sport Pilot

certificate unless the aircraft is LSA-compliant (eLSA, sLSA, or an

experimental or certified aircraft fitting the LSA definition). So you can't

ever complete your SP certificate unless you are able to take the test in an

LSA-compliant aircraft.

Yes, however you cannot exercise the rights of a SP unless flying a

LSA-compliant aircraft, which most trainers do not qualify for. So even if

you have your SP certificate, you're a Student PP if you climb into a

non-LSA compliant aircraft (no passengers, CFI permission/sign-off).



The written tests are quite different also, and not interchangeable. You

can't take your PP Written and have it qualify you for your SP. You'd have

to take your SP written in order to take the SP Practical. I also think the

student certificates are a little different too (you basically have to

indicate which type of certificate you want, SP or PP).



The hours flying can count for either.

Why even bother with the Sports Pilote license? If you have a private pilot license with a lapsed medical you can fly within the sport pilot arena and do not even need the endorsements. At least that is how I think I remember the rules. To lazy to look it up right now.

I'm not sure how this thread started but I believe0 you're right Steven.  If a person is already a PP and lets his/her medical0 lapse they can fly any Sport Pilot compliant plane with a valid drivers0 license.

This is correct.....but the thread started in regards to a student pilot.

Different situation.  The one commonality is that if you go this route (you

let your medical lapse) you can ONLY fly aircraft that fall within the LSA

definition thereafter.
