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

I am a private pilot but my opinion is that if you pass the written and practical test who cares where you got your training.  After all the point is whether or not you are qualified./

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?
