§ 61.417

Will my flight instructor cer-

tificate with a sport pilot rating list
aircraft category and class ratings?

Your flight instructor certificate

does not list aircraft category and
class ratings. When you successfully
pass the practical test for a flight in-
structor certificate with a sport pilot
rating, regardless of the light-sport air-
craft privileges you seek, the FAA will
issue you a flight instructor certificate
with a sport pilot rating without any
category and class ratings. The FAA
will provide you with a logbook en-
dorsement for the category and class of
light-sport aircraft you are authorized
to provide training in.

§ 61.419

How do I obtain privileges to

provide training in an additional
category or class of light-sport air-
craft?

If you hold a flight instructor certifi-

cate with a sport pilot rating and seek
to provide training in an additional
category or class of light-sport aircraft
you must—

(a) Receive a logbook endorsement

from the authorized instructor who
trained you on the applicable areas of
operation specified in § 61.409 certifying
you have met the aeronautical knowl-
edge and flight proficiency require-
ments for the additional category and
class flight instructor privilege you
seek;

(b) Successfully complete a pro-

ficiency check from an authorized in-
structor other than the instructor who
trained you on the areas specified in
§ 61.409 for the additional category and
class flight instructor privilege you
seek;

privileges on a form and in a manner
acceptable to the FAA and present this
application to the authorized instruc-
tor who conducted the proficiency
check specified in paragraph (b) of this
section; and

(d) Receive a logbook endorsement

from the instructor who conducted the
proficiency check specified in para-
graph (b) of this section certifying you
are proficient in the areas of operation
and authorized for the additional cat-
egory and class flight instructor privi-
lege.

§ 61.421

May I give myself an endorse-

ment?

No. If you hold a flight instructor

certificate with a sport pilot rating,
you may not give yourself an endorse-
ment for any certificate, privilege, rat-
ing, flight review, authorization, prac-
tical test, knowledge test, or pro-
ficiency check required by this part.

§ 61.423
