Where do I find the regulations that allow a private pilot checkride in a sport plane?

Thanks
 
In the front of the Private Pilot Airplane Single-Engine Practical Test Standards.

Each PTS describes the type of Equipment required for that certificate or rating.

In the PP ASEL PTS it says:

"...to provide an airworthy, certificated aircraft for use during the practical test:

1. category, class, and type.

2. have fully functioning dual controls.

3. be capable of performing all the areas of operation required for the test.



A certificated airworthy airplaned classified as a "Light Sport Airplane" is still a certificated ASEL. Just make sure that it meets the 1,2,&3 requirements, such as radio nav equipment and instruments.
