The single-passenger restriction, the altitude restriction, the night flight
restriction, the instrument rating restriction, and the restriction placed on
A-D airspaces. Overall, it's pretty useless unless you just want to fly
circuits around some small airport in the boondocks.

Non sequitur.

Try again, this time telling us how the sport pilot restrictions would
realistically effect you versus private pilot.

Or do you concider anything short of ATP too restrictive to be a reason
not to really fly?

You've said many times you have no money, so you couldn't afford to fly
real airplanes the sport pilot category doesn't allow.

I can't afford to fly the airplanes that the category allows, either.

Now we get to the real bottom line.

I just listed them, and they would all affect me.

I consider being limited to tiny tin cans to be very restrictive.

Most of the "restrictions" you listed don't exist as a difference
between sport pilot and private pilot.

So once again you are just babbling.

FAR 61.315

What are the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?

(a) If you hold a sport pilot certificate you may act as pilot in command of a
light-sport aircraft, except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section.

(b) You may share the operating expenses of a flight with a passenger,
provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenses, or aircraft
rental fees. You must pay at least half the operating expenses of the flight.

(c) You may not act as pilot in command of a light-sport aircraft:

(1) That is carrying a passenger or property for compensation or hire.
(2) For compensation or hire.
(3) In furtherance of a business.
(4) While carrying more than one passenger.
(5) At night.
(6) In Class A airspace.
(7) In Class B, C, and D airspace, at an airport located in Class B, C,
or D airspace, and to, from, through, or at an airport having an
operational control tower unless you have met the requirements
specified in §61.325.
(8) Outside the United States, unless you have prior authorization
from the country in which you seek to operate. Your sport pilot
certificate carries the limit "Holder does not meet ICAO requirements."
(9) To demonstrate the aircraft in flight to a prospective buyer
if you are an aircraft salesperson.
(10) In a passenger-carrying airlift sponsored by a charitable organization.
(11) At an altitude of more than 10,000 feet MSL or 2,000 feet AGL, whichever
is higher.
(12) When the flight or surface visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
(13) Without visual reference to the surface.
(14) If the aircraft has:
(i) Has a VH greater than 87 knots CAS, unless you have met the
requirements of Sec. 61.327(b).
(ii) Has a VH less than or equal to 87 knots CAS, unless you have
met the requirements of Sec. 61.327(a) or have logged flight
time as pilot in command of an airplane with a VH less than
or equal to 87 knots CAS before April 2, 2010.]
(15) Contrary to any operating limitation placed on the airworthiness
certificate of the aircraft being flown.
(16) Contrary to any limit on your pilot certificate or airman medical
certificate, or any other limit or endorsement from an authorized
instructor.
(17) Contrary to any restriction or limitation on your U.S. driver's
license or any restriction or limitation imposed by judicial or
administrative order when using your driver's license to satisfy
a requirement of this part.
(18) While towing any object.
(19) As a pilot flight crewmember on any aircraft for which more than
one pilot is required by the type certificate of the aircraft or
the regulations under which the flight is conducted.

As you can see, the list of restrictions is quite long.

You have glossed over two things:

1) What restrictions would effect YOU? Do you really want to tow banners?

2) You have overlooked several paragraphs, in particular 61.325 and 61.3271.

You are arm waving.

I've already listed the things that would affect me. I might want to fly
higher than 10,000 feet. I definitely would want to be able to fly at night. I
might want more than one passenger with me. I'd want an instrument rating. And
so on.

The Sport Pilot certificate is almost worthless. It would make more sense to
do away with the many excesses in medical requirements, so that people
wouldn't have to resort to a Sport Pilot certificate just because they cannot
pass a medical.

I haven't overlooked them (I assume you mean 61.327, not 61.3271, which
doesn't exist), but they are irrelevant, since the other restrictions of the
certificate already render it useless to me.

So the only real flying that you would ever concider bothering with would
be jets at flight levels?

Since most GA flights are two or less people, under 8,500 feet, and day VFR,
you are just babbling.

Right now, I'm descending via the LYNDI2 arrival into San Diego, in a Citation
X. How easy would that be to accomplish in real life, and how much would it
cost?

Delusional.

Right now, you are sitting in a chair in your hovel in front of a PC
playing a game and pretending to fly.

That in itself is OK as lots of people play pretend games.

What makes you stand out as a babbling, delusional fool is that you have
convinced yourself that somehow game playing is the same thing as living a
real life and qualifies you to give advice to people in the real world.

Actually I'm sitting on the ramp outside Landmark, waiting for my virtual
passengers to board. I think we'll be going to LAX shortly.

I'm qualified to give advice independently of my simulation experience in most
cases, although the experience is particularly useful when answering questions
about simulation.

I see allegedly real-world pilots here giving advice on things that they
manifestly know nothing about, and I know I'm not that clueless. The most
vocal pilots here seem to be the ones who are still students or have just
barely squeaked past a PPL, and think that a little paper or card from the FAA
makes them experts.
