Thanks Jerry. I did ask the question specifically about Sport Pilot certification. Here is a copy of the question:
From: Nelson, Frank Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 11:50 AM To: EAA Government Programs Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Government Advocacy I am a Sport Pilot student that owns an Ercoupe 415-C without rudder pedals. My local DPE says that I will have a limitation on my Sport Pilot certificate that prevents me from operating any aircraft that has rudder pedals (2-control vs. 3-control). My research seems to indicate that there is some historical precedence set for this many years ago when the Ercoupe was first introduced to general aviation. However there is considerable "tribal knowledge" that indicates that getting a checkride in an Ercoupe without rudder pedals does not always result in this "Ercoupe limitation." My question is relative to the FAR. What regulation stipulates that students flying aircraft without rudder pedals during their checkride will be limited to flying aircraft without rudder pedals until they are able to remove the restriction?
