Brian,

FAA is pretty clear


Ok, my mistake, I had already admitted that I hadn't fully read the Beard Letter, I should have. It does pretty clearly state that they "Understand" once you have a higher rating, one no longer has student privileges. This is interesting, since this it not the case for other ratings certificates, like sport Pilot or private pilot privileges, if one has a commercial certificate.

Will be interesting to see how the FAA fixes this problem.

Brian
