Yes it is pilot training but I can not get the medical for the private pilot
so I know I am going for my sport pilot and so does my CFI. So we are clear
on our goals. Just wanted to get it out there that some CFI's are not
befuddled by the new sport pilot rule and are training for the sport pilot
rating...of course we are waiting for the written test to come out. But
there is no reason not to get started on some flight hours! Oh and actually
the plane and I were the same age! HAHAHAHA d

I started my sport pilot training today, had a blast! It was clear

alittle windy but it made for a nice ride. I got 1.1 hours in a Piper
Warrior. I am just tickled about the whole adventure.

I'm glad you're having fun - we welcome all pilots, but I'm
interested as to why you say you've started "sport pilot
training." Does your logbook specifically say "trained in
accordance with FAR 61...." and refer to sport pilot regs?
Or are you just telling us that it's your intent to get a
sport pilot rating? If your logbook just indicates thinngs
like "landings," "takeoffs," "S+L, steep turns, etc" then
you've started "pilot training" and can decide later whether
you want to use it for sport, recreational or private pilot
ratings.
