I've had email correspondence with a veteran lightplane pilot (and
CFI) who for some years has been flying with a Special Issuance
medical, which got ever more complicated and ever more expensive. So
when his most recent medical expired, he made the decision to fly
henceforth under Sport Pilot privileges.
He checked with AOPA, EAA, and FAA; each, he says, agreed with his
assessment of the situation and reminded him of his responsibilities.
EAA even insured his J-3 (not quite the same as obtaining renters'
insurance, it's true). He even plans to start instructing again!
