Can a student pilot fly solo without a medical?
Asked by: Dustin 2919 views FAA Regulations, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
I've always understood that student pilots need a medical before they can solo. But reading through Part 61.23(c)(1)(v), it seems to say that student pilots (not just sport pilots) can fly solo with just a driver's license. Here's the wording: "A person must hold and possess either a medical certificate issued under part 67 of this chapter or a U.S. driver's license when -Exercising the privileges of a student, recreational or private pilot certificate if the flight is conducted under the conditions and limitations set forth in § 61.113(i);"
Am I reading this incorrectly?
