Sport Pilot

A friend of mine is going to let his medical lapse and then fly his
PA-11 under the sport pilot rules. From what both he and I have
researched there is no certifcate issued from the FAA that says you are
a sport pilot. What does a person have to carry when operating under
sport pilot rules, just a drivers license?

This might have been assumed in your post - but he also has to carry his
recreational or better pilot certificate.

We weren't sure because I can't find anywhere where it says that.

--------------
61.3(a) A person may not act as pilot in command or in any other
capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft of US
registry unless that person -

(1) Has a valid pilot certificate or special purpose pilot authorization
issued under this part in that person's physical possession or readily
accessible in the aircraft...
------------

This applies to all forms of pilot certificates. Part (c) of the same
section talks about medical certificates and the exemption for sport
pilots with a driver's license.
