My answer is yes, because you have been trained to a different standard than a sport pilot only license. For instance, unlike a sport pilot, those of us with tailwheel endorsements, while exercising our privileges as a Sport Pilot, can fly any conventional gear aircraft that meet the LS specifications which include Cubs, Taylorcrafts, Pietenpols and Champs plus others. An LSA only pilot must have an endorsement for each aircraft type. In a flight review, you will be doing at the PP standard and not LS standard as that is your training. Or you could come on up here, and fly my Cub for your review.Just one idiot's opinion.John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2810 Crossroads Drive, Ste 3800Madison, WI 53718Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Sep 10, 2009, at 2:24 PM, Cuy, Michael D.

However,you should cheer up, I would bet that you know what both Viagra and Cialis areused for! :+}In Iraq, we caught a young soldier with 2000 viagra pills and a bunch of Pornography.He was disciplined but not after we explained the dangers of those twoproducts when combined.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: 3G and sport pilotGood answers guys-thank you all.Thanks for your offer to fly your Cub John ! I've actually taken my flight review in my Pietenpol with a CFI upfront. When I hit my wake in a 360 degree turn he said "that's good enough for me". (no instruments in the front sohe couldn't really tell if I lost or gained any altitude in the turn-which is the object.Mike C.PS-then I had one guy one time, a lonnnnnnng time ago sign me off for a BFR after I took him for a ride in our oldChamp. It was at an airport picnic and I was the designated pilot giving rides as everyone else was having beer.The ink wasn't even dry in my logbook when the CFI's wife (who had about 4 beers by then already) told me thatshe now had enough nerve to go for a ride. I had done spins and loops with any passenger who said they wantedto go thru them so while we were up I asked this lady if she wanted to do a spin and loop and she said 'absolutely-yes !"When I landed the CFI said, "cripe sakes, the ink isn't even dry in your logbook and you're already breaking FAR's."Later he said "thank you" as I guess his wife thanked HIM later that night for taking her to the "dumb airport picnic hewas going to."________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:36:54 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Sport pilot Flight Review question

That is a different question. He does not need a Sport Pilot checkride as he is already a Private Pilot (or so he sez). He can fly a 172 for a flight review without the medical if a CFI is in and considered PIC. A Sport Pilot candidate must use get the checkride in the category of LS eligible aircraft which he is going to be operating, which leaves the 172 out.John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2810 Crossroads Drive, Ste 3800Madison, WI 53718Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Sep 10, 2009, at 3:19 PM, Dortch, Steven D MAJ NG NG NGB wrote:> NGB" >> I think Mike's question is really "Can I do my Sport Pilot checkride > in a non LSA?"

The answer is no you don't. Here it is from EAA: "A flight review can be taken in any aircraft for which you are rated (i.e., any single engine land airplane if you have an Airplane- SEL category/class rating on your pilot certificate). However, without an FAA medical certificate, you will not be authorized to act as pilot in command (PIC) of an aircraft that does not meet the definition of a LSA. This means the CFI will need to act as PIC during the flight portion of the flight review. Make sure the CFI is aware of this situation before you begin the flight review."John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2810 Crossroads Drive, Ste 3800Madison, WI 53718Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Sep 10, 2009, at 3:29 PM, Cuy, Michael D.

3G or 3rd Generation (aka International Mobile Telecommunications-2000) is a highspeed standard set for mobile communications. Far more efficient than 2G series(2.5, 2.75, etc.)... it makes much more efficient use of the wireless spectrum.It also allows me to realize DSL type bandwidth on a USB network devicesmaller than my cell phone, plugged into my PC... in my dusty hangar! Lookma... no wires! LOL! Yes Mike, there is a 4G set of standards in the works, which will keep or Pietenpolinfo (and Jim jokes) flying around at lightning speed. In other words...get use to hearing of the G services. Hopefully no one will resurrect gravitas.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:38:11 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: totally non-Pietenpol related

Hi, one of the reasons for sealing the timber is to stabilize it from rapid moisture changes, another is to reduce the risk from insect attack. Regards MikeT. ----- Original Message -----

MikeI hope the answer is yes, because that's what I did. I took my bi-annual in a 172, with CFI. He said it was legal.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
