That's what we're talking about. It's required by 61.31(d), but 63.31(k)(2) waives it for a checkride. I've never given it for an initial MEL checkride.

I was assuming the pilot in question did some SEL solo training to prepare for the check ride. In this case, an endorsement to be a PIC in a SEL is required; normally, insurance does not permit this in a MEL so it is not an issue. On the check ride it is normally not an issue as the DE is there and insurance will cover this.

Anyway,

class rating for aircraft not type-certificated as airplanes,
rotorcraft, gliders, lighter-than-air aircraft, powered-lifts, powered
parachutes, or weight-shift-control aircraft.
(2) The rating limitations of this section do not apply to--
(i) An applicant when taking a practical test given by an examiner;
(ii) The holder of a student pilot certificate;
(iii) The holder of a pilot certificate when operating an aircraft
under the authority of--
Certainly, but I thought this was the splitting-hairs thread?
