I'm having trouble interpreting the regulations and I have found conflicting information on the internet concerning this.
Is the training provided by a CFI (without a valid medical) in an LSA under sport pilot limitations good for only the sport pilot certificate or can this training time be applied towards higher certificates?
Along the same line, can a CFI in this same situation provide private pilot training in an LSA as long as sport pilot conditions are met (day VFR, sunrise to sunset, 10,000 feet MSL or below, etc)?
I was under the impression that the time did count but one of the instructors at the flight school today disagreed. I am in this situation and would like to teach but I don't know if this would be a major drawback if training I provide isn't applicable towards a private license. As far as night ops are concerned, we'd have to send them to another school anyway since the aircraft are not certified for night flight to my knowledge.
Thanks.
