Anybody know the protocol for an ATP/airline guy getting checked out in an LSA? My situation is that am a 16K+ hour pilot, but out on a medical. ATP and medical still valid. My neighbor, who knows I'm going crazy not being able to fly, said that I could fly his LSA (SportStar SE) anytime I wanted to - just sweep out the hangar every now and then, and fill the tanks back up after I'm done flying. Yea, I know - the man is an absolute prince for making such a generous offer.
Everything I've read in the FAR/AIM is all about becoming a Sport Pilot, but I haven't run across anything that tells what you what you need to legally fly it solo if you are already a rated pilot. Logbook endorsement from a CFI, perhaps? I plan on getting a flight or two with a CFI who is familiar with LSA's, but I want to make sure that I am doing things right, not just for my own comfort and safety, but also for my neighbor's peace of mind (and quite possibly for insurance purposes as well).
Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
