If you are with a cfi-You can fly any air plane .When you solo,you have
to fly a sport qualified airplane With student permit,logbook sign off.
Must cfi don't want to under stand what a sport pilot certificate or the
plane.Also they think that 20 hr.arn't enough.But thats up to the
CFI.The CFI can instruct in any thing he has qualified for, as ASEL etc.
Must say they don't have a plane.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying here, but am very interested.

Can you lay it out a little more clearly for us, from the beginning?

The FSDO wants to see a form signed by a CFI, saying that you are interested
in going for the sport pilot rating? If that is the case, then are you
flying a plane that meets all of the requirements of a light sport plane?

If not, and it does not meet the requirements of a LSP, can you solo in it,
and take you final check ride in it, if it is not a sport plane?

I am interested, because there are not many options around here for taking
LSP lessons, from the area FBO's. If there is a way around this problem, I
would really be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks.
