Calvin19 0 #1 April 14, 2011 Hey guys, my friend does not have a medical but is current in single engine airplanes, can he fly a light sport airplane legally? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csubl 0 #2 April 14, 2011 If he has a current pilot certificate (recreational, private, commercial, or ATP) and has not been denied a medical certificate, he can fly a light sport aircraft, but must comply with sport pilot limitations. If his last application for a medical certificate was denied, he must get a special issuance medical first. In either case, he can exercise sport pilot privileges using only a driver's license in lieu of a medical certificate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Light sport can fly at night with the correct endorsement. Since he held a PPL it shouldn't be hard to get.

What type of trike do you fly? I have been looking into getting one of those things. Most of the guys around here fly Airborne and Air Creation stuff.

I fly a Solo Wings Aquilla (made in South Africa), 582 rotax 2 stroke, 64 hp. cruise speed 45 mph. very happy with it. i purchase this one used, had 60 hours on it. i added a BRS. i have a radio, and gauge pod. i really like this one because the hang post has a "bend" in it, so the passenger has much more head room. very, very, very, fun to fly low. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Nice looking bird. That's pretty much what I am looking for. Just a bare bones two seater.
