Maul, I was waiting for someone to site the FAR vs their opinion. In the FAA eyes, if it's not written it's not true, and sometimes it's true by omission. In the pilot community, there are plenty of opinions, many that are baseless. I appreciate you pointing the specific reg that ties IFR (61.5)...

Maule, your genius. I received bad info on IFR rating being tied to category.61.5 8) is what I was looking for, for clarification. Ryan, you are correct. An instrument rating is tied to Private or commercial pilot Privilege. To operate as either, you have to have a medical. That was the reg...

Ryan, Respectively, please show me the regulation that declares a "Private Pilot license" as a requirement to fly IFR as well as possessing a medical to fly IFR. IFR is a rating that is based on a "Category", in this situation My IFR rating is associated with the"airplane" catigory which is the...

@bflynn @WDD and @Rgbeard summed it up pretty nicely. No medical on your private to which your rating is attached... no IFR (vmc or otherwise). No such thing as an IFR license or cert - it is a rating attached to a cert. if you don’t hold the cert (or the medical to make flying with the cert...

If this was cut and dried I would not have brought it to the forum. We all know that a private pilot ( by definition needs a medical, basic med or third class or better). with an IFR-equipped plane and current IFR pilot, can fly IFR in VMC and IMC. So let's take out the plane issue and assume...

I am flying as a sport pilot, not a private pilot. My private pilot license allows me to operate as a sport pilot without a medical. From FAA : https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/sportpilots/response2/ Sport Pilot Medical Certification Questions and Answers If I...

I agree, the tricky thing here is I am flying and exercising the privileges of a sport pilot (not a Private pilot) with a driver's license. So I am restricted to day time VFR and less then 10,000 feet.

That's what I was hoping! Thanks. Look for others to agree or give reasons why it might not be.

In order to get an IFR license you need a private pilot license or better and by default the reg states and FAA medical. Not sure if they are now allowing basic med to qualify for the IFR requirement since you now can get a private pilot license. In my case, it's a question of exercising the IFR...

looking at the regs, it seems to gray. The IFR privileges themselves do not seem to be tied to a medical. Hence, I can get current in any IFR aircraftw as non PIC with an instructor. Now I'm current IFR without medical. Flying as a sport pilot with a private pilot's license is legal without a...

Yes, unfortunately, out here when Pensacola or other ATC get to busy with military jet traffic they just drop you and have you squawk VFR. Usually at the most inopportune times. I use FF now as it is my only option. Looking to be in the system.

I have been religated to fly Light Sport in Southern Alabama, not far from Pensacola. A "Part 93" area, which should help describe the level of flight activity. Prior to going to light sport, I held a private pilot license with an instrument rating. Here's the question? Can a current Private...
