OK,
To sum it up,....before a sport pilot can operate a fixed wing aircraft
that cruises 87 knots or more he must have ground and flight training and
recieve an endorsement. The rule regarding this endorsement specifically
states a certificated sport pilot can get this endorsement.
So you have one rule saying a sport pilot can train in the same aircraft
that the other rule says he can't until after he is a "sport pilot". It's
causing as much confusion as the retracts on seaplanes, if not more just
because alot of us(me included) have already been flying aircraft that
cruise at or more than 87 knots. Some CFI's are giving the endorsement
during training , others just are not sure what the heck to do.

When you get down into all the little sub sections of the rules it
goes
on to say that only a certificated sport pilot can get training and get
signed off for the 87 knot endorsement.

Sorry, but you still didn't say what the 87 knot endorsement rule is.
