Sport Rating showing multiple times in IACRA

Post by AviatorCrafty »

This always puzzled me and was wondering if it has happened to any others. In my IACRA certificates it lists my sport pilot - ASEL rating four times, meanwhile only lists my private - glider and drone certificate once, is there a reason for this?

It's a mystery!

Do you maybe have multiple category/class add-on ratings to your Sport Pilot Airplane rating (such as glider, seaplane, gyroplane, or weight-shift)?

I also have 4 SPORT PILOT listed and those are the only things shown. All I have ever done is Student->Sport Pilot. I noticed the redundant listings back when I first earned my SP ticket but figured if it floats the FAA's boat - what do I care?

Nope, just sport pilot - ASEL, as that was my initial pilot certificate, and then got my PPL-GLider in April
