Doesn't your instructor make an endorsement, both on your student pilot certificate and your logbook prior to each cross country?
de727ups said:A student pilot certificate, as you now know, is only valid for 90 days. I see no problem with this rule as student pilots should be working closely with a CFI and having the student get a signoff every 90 days is supposed to accomplish this...that's the idea behind the rule, I think.
I wouldn't take this to a DE or the FAA. If you fly beyond the 90 day limit then you violated an FAR. Find another CFI who will fly with you and get you a new sign off, then you will be legal to continue flying. It would take a pretty sharp DE to bother going through your endorsments to the point of seeing that your student pilot license had expired and then you continued flying. Even if he caught it, you are legal at the moment and would probably not make a big deal out of it. Don't ever tell the FAA.....
Umm a student pilot certificate isn't valid for 90 days, solo is I believe (don't have the FARs with me). A student pilot cert is valid for 24 calander months (plus the what is left of the month is was issued on).
