<p>Dave thanks for your comments. After 2 years and seven months and spending several thousand dollars on medical test always never enough for the FAA I have given up they won. I sold my kit and all tools and parts to finish it. My flight gear, head set, radios, and training materials I gave to a young lady down the road that wants to become a pilot, I even offered to pay for her first few lessons.</p>

<p>You may want to check with someone about being able to fly Sport Pilot. Here is what I found.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Sport Pilot rule allows a pilot to fly light-sport aircraft without the need for an FAA medical certificate. However, a sport pilot must hold at least a current and valid U.S. driver's license in order to exercise this privilege. The only exceptions are for operations in a glider or balloon, which does not require a driver's license.</li>

<p>Keep in mind that you can utilize any type of traditional flight training for a Sport Pilot certificate. You're only required to solo in a light sport aircraft that meets the Sport Pilot rule. You'll likely also need time in the correct LSA aircraft in order to get the logbook endorsement to operate that type as pilot in command (the Sport Pilot certificate does not specify category or type). I'm not sure of the requirements for that. It may be up to your FSDO, and I suggest you ask them.</p> My experience with the FAA is…tag:zenith.aero,2022-06-09:2606393:Comment:8713932022-06-09T19:37:09.106ZWayne 'Tophat' Bartletthttps://zenith.aero/profile/WayneBartlett53
<p>My experience with the FAA is this: communicate with them ONLY in writing, and that by certified mail. It's the only way that they'll ever own up to having told you something.</p>
