Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: IFR LSA's

To me it makes sense.  If you buy an airplane to become a sport pilot why not get one that you can use to get more advanced tickets later on such as a private and instrument rating and use the same plane.  Like someone else said the pilot can have one rating and the plane another.  Roger

I totally get your philosophy.  But I totally get other people's philosophies, too.  Go to Oshkosh.  You see airplanes designed to do damn near everything imaginable.  People have different needs and design planes to fit those needs.  Just because your needs don't need instruments doesn't mean everyone's doesn't.  I fly for fun, too, but to be honest, having the ability to file IFR to escape some morning fog and go somewhere nice has been handy a couple of times.  But mostly, if I fly through a cloud, I'm getting paid to do it, so I understand what you're saying.

I've been a Sport Pilot for 2 years and I guess I must be old-fashioned or just old! Why would anybody want to fly in the fog (IFR)? I fly to explore and see things. It wouldn't make sense to me to fly when I couldn't see anything. If the weather is bad, I wait until it gets good. I fly for sport!
