61.307 defines the requirement and references some exceptions to the

to be exempted.


I may have found my own answer. The sport pilot PTS provides this
satement:


Sport Pilot--Additional Privileges
If you hold a Sport Pilot Certificate or higher and seek to operate an
additional category or class of light-sport aircraft (14 CFR part 61,
section 61.321), you must:
1. receive a logbook endorsement .......
2. successfully complete a proficiency check from an authorized
instructor ......
3. complete an application for those privileges .......
4. receive a logbook endorsement from the instructor .......

So the key piece of information may be that a private glider rating is
assumed to be a higher rating than sport pilot with airplane category.

Anyone done this or know someone that has? How is the certificate
worded?
