The
LSA limitations are - briefly- max weight 1320 lbs, daylight only, max
two passenger, max speed 120 kts., max altitude 10,000' (yes there is
a LSA glider rating but the 10,000' limitation is still there.)


Is the 10,000 ft MSL limitation on LSA certified aircraft, the pilot
operating under LSA privileges, or both? Can I fly an LSA certified
glider over 10,000 ft if, I'm operating on my private glider pilot
privileges? Can I fly an LSA compliant aircraft with a standard type
certificate (say Piper Cub) over 10,000 ft MSL, if I'm operating on LSA
privileges?


It is my understanding that the 10,000 ft limitation is on the pilot, not
the aircraft. There are many old production aircraft that meet the LSA
criteria. (J-3 Cub, Taylor Craft, Champ, etc.)
