Until now, there hasn't been a systematic program for sport pilots who wish to transition to the private-pilot certificate. Knowledge requirements are abridged in the LSA world, and CFIs have had, so far, only two options in transitioning sport pilots to private pilots: start over (duplicating a lot of knowledge and effort in the process) or assume some level of training and move on from there (typically leaving gaps that won't be discovered for months). Paul Hamilton has produced the Sport & Private Pilot Airplane Training Syllabus, which is tailored to the needs of the student-CFI team wishing to move from LSA to the world of larger airplanes.
