Upgrading from Sport Pilot to Private, do I need a Student Certificate again?
Asked by: MacPara 2436 views Student Pilot
I am contemplating to upgrade my Sport Pilot license to Private. This question is not about recognition of CFI hours from previous training but I am wondering if I need to get a Student Pilot Certificate again. I intend to take training in my ELSA for most of the dual hours but at some point I think it would be advisable to get some hours in a 172 and maybe a PA28 to get a better idea of how they differ from my ELSA.
Wouldn't flying these types of aircraft solo require a different certificate than my Sport Pilot license? Do I therefore need to get a Student Pilot Certificate again if I want to get this additional experience in heavier-than-LSA airplanes?
