Re: Non light sport aircraft.
Which I would argue is not worth the paper it's printed on. Go ahead and get a Private. YRMV. I think most of us discount it. The FAA should probably eliminate it IMHO.3Dreaming wrote:CFR part 61 sub part DTimTaylor wrote:Of course, until/unless something changes a Cessna 150/152, Piper Cherokee, and Beech Musketeer all required a Private certificate or higher.

This person did not ask about Recreation Pilot certificate. Why didn't you suggest it to him?[email protected] wrote:I am working on getting my private pilot but toying with sport pilot ideas.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
I think that's a significant observation. It has (sadly) become an orphan rating. I was at an Examiner's meeting at my FSDO on Thursday, and was surprised to observe that not one single DPE in my district offers Rec Pilot checkrides. That's right, all our examiners skip over it. We have DPEs whose Letters of Authorization specifically list Sport, Private, Commercial, ATP, Multi, and Instrument, but explicitly omit Rec. So, if someone in EA-13 actually wanted to get a Rec, he or she would apparently be out of luck.TimTaylor wrote: This person did not ask about Recreation Pilot certificate.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
Seems to me that if you can give a Private ride, you should be able to give a Recreational Pilot ride.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
Just because the DPE has the skills and knowledge to give a Rec Pilot practical exam doesn't mean he or she can, unless (a) the examiner requests that privilege, and (b) the relevant FSDO chooses to extend that privilege in the DPE's Certificate of Authority. In my district, they haven't done so for anyone. Probably that's because, to add a rating to your DPE, your Principal Inspector has to observe you giving a practical for that specific rating. So, if there aren't ever any Rec Pilot applicants, there can't be an observation, and hence there can't be a Rec Pilot Examiner.TimTaylor wrote:Seems to me that if you can give a Private ride, you should be able to give a Recreational Pilot ride.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
I'm just saying it seems they SHOULD be able to, not they ARE able to. After all, A Recreation Pilot is same as Private minus some stuff. At least, I think it is.TimTaylor wrote:Seems to me that if you can give a Private ride, you should be able to give a Recreational Pilot ride.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
Yes, that's clear. Similarly, a PPT examiner should be able to give SP checkrides. Most don't, because:TimTaylor wrote: I'm just saying it seems they SHOULD be able to, not they ARE able to. After all, A Recreation Pilot is same as Private minus some stuff. At least, I think it is.
(1) most DPEs (and CFIs, for that matter) don't know the SP rules, privileges, and limitations. They're still the best kept secret in aviation.
(2) most of the DPEs I know can't get into an LSA without overgrossing it.

He didn't ask about an instrument rating either, but yet you suggested it on the first page.TimTaylor wrote:This person did not ask about Recreation Pilot certificate.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
By that same logic there would be no Sport Pilot examiners, glider examiners, or type specific examiners like for a Robinson R-22.drseti wrote:Just because the DPE has the skills and knowledge to give a Rec Pilot practical exam doesn't mean he or she can, unless (a) the examiner requests that privilege, and (b) the relevant FSDO chooses to extend that privilege in the DPE's Certificate of Authority.

Re: Non light sport aircraft.
And, in fact, there are very few of each. Read my rather long thread on the ongoing shortage of Sport Pilot examiners.3Dreaming wrote: By that same logic there would be no Sport Pilot examiners, glider examiners, or type specific examiners like for a Robinson R-22.
