Raptor vs Eagle

Yes,
Sport Pilots can get a seaplane endorsement....but just signing as SP
would just mean land would it not? Hmm So I guess maybe we won't confuse
anyone if I just keep it SPL. So I can really be technical how would I have
a tailwheel endorsement, controlled airspace, and the silly 87 knot
endorsement on the end of my SPL. Wow it'd look like I was going for a
degree or something wouldn't it!? Heck maybe even one day I'll get the
seaplane on there too. Can't think of many times I would use it here in the
mountains..maybe I can land in Holston Lake and do some trout fishing?
There's a thought!

Very Good,
Sport Pilot Land,...but maybe I should change it to something else.
Would SP work just as well, because really I guess the land would be a
give me wouldn't it?

Not a gimme. SP provides for adding a sea-plane rating, doesn't it?

I think what everyone has been pussy-footing around is the fact that several
people suspect you mean "Sport Pilot License" by those initials. There's no such
thing. As is the case with all the little goodies the FAA grants, it's a
certificate.

A certificate which grants you license to fly. Even the FAA calls it a
license in some of their literature.

Hee Hee ,
That is why I put my sport pilot license remark in the thread ! I was
really wondering why it took so long to get someone to say HEY that's not a
license! But as one person had guessed, I put SPL for Sport Pilot Land. SP
would work just as well I believe because I think the Land would be assumed
by most..but SPL just sounds so dern important! But for now I just have
the good old student pilot certificate. But if the funds hold out it won't
be long and I can take the student thing off there!
Just all kinds of those little certificates I need to get,..I guess next
on the list will be to go ahead and get the Airframes. Funny how I only need
it now I want my own plane!!!!! Makes you wonder why there is not a
General Certificate and only the A&P? Hmmmm you take three series of test ,
seems it would be three certificates. Ah the joys of the FAA !
