"Can only provide training and endorsements for sport pilot certificates" It's funny that the FAA should say this as their own regulations contradict it. § 61.415(b) states that a CFI-SP can provide flight and ground instruction for someone seeking a private pilot certificate with a weight shift or powered parachute rating as so long as the instructor also holds at least a private pilot certificate themselves and the appropriate category and class ratings. Indeed, it's the only way you can get a PPL in a weight shift or powered parachute as there is not equivalent category or class rating for commercial or regular CFIs. Of course, this is only for weight shift and powered parachute which the FAA has demonstrated that they know nothing about.
