Since I didn't read it myself - only heard it from the
FAA inspector - I'll check with him and get back to
you.

The regs may say otherwise but I find it hard to believe that us old
PPL geezers
who have been able to jump from one seat to another in various airplanes
without any checkouts or endorsements might now need one to fly a new
plastic
LSA. But then it could be true.

Arty may be having trouble finding that stuff because she sent me her books
so that I could have a chance to pass my upcoming check ride. Written is
done, weather may cause me some delay on the check ride part.
I am just getting into the books, but my suspicion about the source of this
thought is that you are required to have had a BFR within 24 months of
operating any certificated airplane even if it is a LSP.

There is a mixing and misunderstandings of the regulations here. First the
private pilot license is permanent, barring any major screw ups it is good
for life. There are some hoops that have to be followed to exercise the
rights of the license. One is the medical and one is the biannual flight
review. You can let both of these lapse but and you aren't legal to fly.
When you renew them you can fly again.
The sport pilot rules allow a person with a PPL to fly a LSP with only a
current BFR in any airplane assuming their medical was not denied. There is
no requirement for any additional log book entries other than a current BFR
in any airplane. You may need things like a tail wheel endorsement or float
rating but nothing else. Two years ago or was it three I confirmed this very
question with the project leader for the light sport program from the FAA
when they were putting on the LSP presentations at Oshkosh.
As with any new program there are going to be misinterpretations by allot of
people.
