According to 61.315.b.3, if your most current medical has been suspended, you are not eligible. I do not think it matters the reason for the suspension.

Yep. It’s also in the medical certification regulation, 61.23.

Keep your drivers license current, no problem.

The way I read it, no. Because I think a Super Hornet can go faster than 250kts. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Just limit the maximum continuous power setting. That’s how Carbon Cub does it, otherwise it would exceed LSA cruise speeds.

Is 250kts the max allowable speed for an LSA and a sport pilot? That seems awful fast for a twitchy little bugger. I only feel as if I'm allowed to have this opinion because a friend used to take me up in his Pitts S-2B and he taught me some very basic aerobatic stuff. It was fun and safe but I was very aware that when my hand was on the stick if I even thought about a turn it was going to already be doing it. I also understand a S-2B is a pretty extreme comparison to a 152 but shouldn't the 152 or J-3 replica be what this whole thing is about? Just letting anyone scoot around at 250kts seems like a bad idea.

I read something that said the MOSAIC rules increased max speed from current LSA rules of 120kts to 250kts. But today read there was no maximum (which depending on AMG's answer about Super Hornet speed might include them). I am getting mixed interwebs info from various aviation emails.

It's probably just more AI nonsense. Junk in, junk out. I thought computers were supposed to make our lives easier?

Yeah - I've seen errors with AI stuff just in my limited playing around. Some people see the errors and laugh it off and say "haha AI is so stupid! No way it will be dangerous!" but being a contrarian it makes me feel even more scared - because the casual lack of precision with AI coupled with the inherent laziness of human beings is a recipe for disaster.

Exactly why I wrote that in quotes. Yes, the flaps still move with the switch in Auto, and the TEFs even work as rolling surfaces in certain regimes of slow flight.
