Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: NAFI poll

As you know, I've been working the phone on this issue since OSH.  The number one thing that I hear over and over again that I fully agree with is that the flight time requirements for a subpart K instructor are ridiculously low.  I had almost that amount of total time when I finished my PPL and I know I didn't know squat at that point.  I think most in the subpart H comunity believe that the flight time requirements even for a subpart H instructor are way too low and to cut them further for a subpart K instructor has us shaking our heads in disbelief.  I suspect that if the flight time requirements were raised for subpart K to something more reasonable, you'd see a lot of people changing their minds on this issue of credit given.

I just voted in the pole, which asked the question, "Should training received from a sport-pilot instructor be applicable to other ratings and or certificates?" I have to say... I'm absolutely shocked by the number of "No" votes. I figured there'd be a couple, but the score was 71 - Yes to 50 - No.

I'm curious... What is the argument people are using to say the training provided by a sport pilot instructor should not count toward a PPL or beyond? Regardless of whether a Sport Pilot got his training from a CFI or a SPI... that Sport Pilot still had to fly to the exact same Practical Test Standards. Any comments?
