It is my understanding if you get your PPL in a Piper Cherokee and want to fly a Cesna 152, you have to have a CFI check you out in the new make and model. If you got your ticket in a 2 axis Ercoupe and he does his job right, he will check you for spins, stalls, and slips in the check out. Isn't this correct? I have no restriction on my sport pilot lic. for 2 axis only. It is just the same for a tail dragger. If you get your lic. in a tricycle gear, you cannot step into a tail dragger and expect to fly away. You have to be checked out (training until proficient to fly it).

Did they luck out? Maybe, maybe not. If they ever get in an accident, the attorney that sues them will probably figure it that there was a mistake made on the issuance of the pilot license. I wouldn’t want to be the examiner that issued the cert or the pilot that is using it at that point. To Tandy: If he takes the check ride in a no ped coupe and the examiner does it right, he would restrict the certificate to aircraft with20no rudder pedals.

The biggest issue they had was some instructors would not instruct in Coupes and some Flight Examiners would not conduct a flight check in them.
