Agreed Vaughn,,,, and that Flight Review can be in a different aircraft that
he holds a certificate for..
not the "additional category" that he as solo privileges in.

For my "Glider Add-On Students" that hold other ratings, I add the 90 day
restriction and also because of our "club operation", an instructor has to
be on the ground and know he is flying solo.

Notice it requires both the student pilot certificate to be signed and
the endorsement in the log.

OK, but in this case you are dealing with a "student", but not a holder
of a student pilot's license because your "student" is already an FAA
rated pilot. Your "student" has no need to obtain a student pilot's
certificate because he/she is already a licensed pilot who is simply
seeking an additional rating. Since your "student" is does not hold a
Student Pilot certificate, 61.87 does not apply.

In this situation the applicable FAR is 61.31(d)(3) and the applicable
CFI signoff from AC 61-65E is # 63.

"To Act As PIC In An Aircraft in Solo Operations when the pilot does not
hold an Appropriate Category/Class Rating: Section 61.31 (d)(3)".

"I certify that __________________________ has received training as
required by section 61.31 (d)(3) to serve as PIC in a (category and class
of aircraft). I have determined that he/she is prepared to serve as PIC
in that (make and model of aircraft). "
(Date, Name, Certificate #, Exp date)

This is one of the most powerful signoffs that a CFI can make and it
should never be done lightly. I add time limits and geographical limits
to the basic signoff, because otherwise that person can go off and fly
solo forever (in that make and model) without ever getting another
moment's instruction beyond some sort of flight review.

Respectfully
Vaughn
