All,

Here's the situation: I'm a Comm ASEL, AMEL, Instrument, CFII. I've just been diagnosed with epilepsy, so it looks as though my professional flying career is over.

However, if I voluntarily surrender my medical, and retain my state driver's license (though I had to give THAT up for 6 months), will I still be able to fly under sport pilot rules? Would I have to do any additional training or get another endorsement? Sport Pilot is something I admittedly know NOTHING about.

Any insight?

Thanks,
Jonathon
