Sport Pilot cuts off special issuance at the knees

No, Ron. Suppose you get a letter from the FAA asking you for an update
of... say... your diabetic situation, from your doctor. What do you think
will happen if you ignore the letter and try to wait until the special
issuance expires, so that you can then fly LSA aircraft with a DL? (This is
no different than not sending in the required medical reports needed to
renew the special issuance medical; that request is made when you get the
medical in the first place.)

Your original authorization will say "this authorization expires XXXX". The
letter will also tell you what to do (usually about 3 months before the expiration
of your auhtoriation) to renew it. What ever mental condition your special issuance
is for surely reads like this.

Ron.

The sad part is that juan will not get it even if he reads what you just
posted. But I like it "What ever mental condition YOUR special issuance if for"

Good one Ron

Wrong letter. I'm talking about the letter revoking your medical because
you did not reply to them with a status letter from your doctor on your
diabetes type II, for example. Would you like to see proof, via email? I
think when you see it you will agree with me on this issue.

While you are under the special issuance, the FAA will consider you to be
flying under the authority of the special issuance, not the DL, and you'll
be treated just like any other special issuance regardless of what kind of
airplane you fly (short of ultralights).
