Default Third Class to Sport Pilot

define "insurance company".. I take it that this is the company that insures
your aircraft?

are you flying and continuing to fly an aircraft that qualifies for LSA
status even thought it may already be certified above LSA status.

As another poster said, on the last day of the month, you are a PP and can
fly what you've been flying, on the 1st of the next month you are a Sport
Pilot and can only fly aircraft that qualify under the LSA rules, 2 seat, hp
or speed limits etc, and can only fly them to the LSA limitations... no
night, no flights above 10,000MSL, no flights to certain airports without
additional endorsements...

no here lies another question... if you "were" a PP, and now flying under
SP, you were at one time qualified to fly into airports that are now
limited.. and the other SP restrictions.. can you still do that without the
SP log book endorsements needed by an SP?

What has anyone actually experienced in making the change from a third
class medical to the Sport Pilots "driver" license?

My insurance company has said "no problem unless the policy specifically
states a third class medical is needed" (it doesn't).

Thanks, Dick
