An individual holding a recreational pilot certificate or higher (e.g. Private) may exdcerise the privileges of a sport pilot certificate, provided the holder complies with the privileges and limiations of a sport pilot certificate.

An existing pilot needs:

• A valid pilot certificate

• Compliance with the medical requirements of a sport pilot.

• A current flight review (recorded in logbook).

• Fly a sport pilot-eligible aircraft.

• Operate within the privileges and limitations of the sport pilot certificate.

• Operate withion the category/class ratings on the pilot certificate.

• Individuals with a private, commercial or ATP certificate may perform the flight review in any aircraft authorizied by the person's pilot certificate, assuming the CFI is pilot in command.

• A private pilot choosing to operate at the sport pilot level need not do anything more than comply with the rules. No chance of certificates necessary. A private pilot may cimple present the private pilot certificate and valid state driver's license and state "I am operating as a sport pilot."
