No question about that, Robert. But a Sport ticket requires no medical.
But I
have heard that if you lose you medical you cannot get the Sport. So the
question is - can you get the Sport before you might lose the medical and
continue to fly "light Aircraft" when not being qualified to fly the big
ones
like my Archer.

The Sport Ticket Does require a medical, it's what you have to have to pass
your auto drivers license. I do not believe that you can get an "issued"
Sport Pilot Certificate, because you already have a higher rating. The trick
here is to allow your Current medical to expire, and limit yourself to sport
aircraft.. and sport aircraft rules.. altitude, location where you can fly,
etc.

BECAUSE, If have a medical certificate and you LOSE the medical, you can't
fly sport pilot until you clear the issue that lost you the medical. You
just can't go straight to.. I don't need a medical status. Re Read 61.303(b)
