Just because you have a Private Pilot Power license does not automatically mean that you need a medical. A pilot with a Private SEL license can fly a light sport aircraft without a medical.

Commercial Glider Rating
Also, you need a medical to GET a Private Pilot-Airplane rating. The OP
indicated (I think) that he does not currently have a PP-ASEL rating. In order to take the practical test for this rating, you need a medical. Then after you pass your practical test if your medical lapses you would then be eligible for sport pilot privileges only. --Stefan On Tue, 16 Aug 2011 19:51:40 -0500, Cookie wrote: On Aug 15, 6:48 pm, Tony V wrote: Just because you have a Private Pilot Power license does not automatically mean that you need a medical.
