This is more a rule-interpretation question than a medical one, per se.
Suppose a person is flying as an SP, with the blessings of his personal physician, because of a medical issue that is expected to resolve; at which time the airman will be able to obtain a medical certificate.
Until that resolution occurs, can the individual pursue PPL training and earn a PPL, provided all of his training occurs in an LSA? I understand the pilot would not be able to exercise his PPL privileges until he received a medical. I am asking simply if he can earn the PPL, not exercise PPL privileges without a medical.
My take: I am not aware of any requirement for PPL that could not be completed in a properly equipped LSA; nor am I aware of any PPL requirement that could not be completed, even without a medical, by a person already certificated as a SP (assuming the training were conducted in an LSA). The night flight requirement can be dual.
Am I missing something?
