After I posted to the list about Private Pilots
needing a proficiency check before they could use
their driver's license to fly under the Sport Pilot
regs - someone asked me where in the FARs that was.
I wrote to the FAA inspector who did my E-LSA
inspection. Here is my question and his reply.

Hi Arty,
Pilots will still need to do a bi-annual check but
they do not need to get
a make-model endorsement in their logbooks like a
sport pilot does. Who
dopes or does not need a logbook endorsement is
covered by the aircraft
operating limitations.
Hope that clarifies it.

Question re:
Sport Pilot
Proficiency
Checks
Hi Mike,
I heard that you're now in Spokane - and probably
very
very happy about no longer having to commute. What
a
great holiday gift!
When you came out to Sandy to do my airworthiness
inspection, you said that a lot of private pilots
will
be suprised to find out that - in order to fly under
the Sport Pilot regs and use their driver's license
instead of a current medical - they will first have
to
take a proficiency exam...they can't just let their
current medical expire and fly using their driver's
license.
At least that's what my notes say you said - I may
have gotten it wrong. A couple of private pilots
have
challenged me on this so wonder if 1) I got it
wrong,
and 2) if I heard you correctly, where it is in the
FARs, so I can refer them to it.
Thanks in advance for helping me find out what's
correct.
Have a great 2007
Arty Trost
