If a 70 year old private pilot with an instrument rating wants to move to flying Light Sport Aircraft (never failed a medical, but would like to avoid the requirement for a 3rd class medical every two years at this stage of life), can this pilot fly the LSA in the IFR system (and in IMC) if the airplane was properly equipped (and the pilot has a valid driver's license but has allowed the medical to expire)?
Or does flying a properly equipped LSA in IFR conditions always require a current medical certificate? I couldn't find this question addressed directly (I may have missed it) in the FARs.
Thanks.
