Gliders and Light Sport Gliders
Asked by: Roland Shaul 9816 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Light Sport Aircraft, Private Pilot
I am 2000 plus hour single engine pilot with a glider rating and a motor glider endorsment. I do not have a current medical, but I have never had a medical refused. I own and fly a Light Sport Motor Glider( Urbanair Lambada). Two Questions: 1. Am I restricted to flying under Sport Pilot rules or can I fly according to regular motor glider rules? 2. If I were to fail a medical could I still fly the Lambada? Gliders and regular motor gliders can be flown by pilots who have been denied a medical, if the pilot feels he can do so safely.
