...and those that don't fall into that category because they require 5 hours
dual in type before solo operation, period.

The lesson: Get the dual. It's not only a really good idea (an LSA is a

and fly it will probably get you in trouble), but it's a practical
requirement.

A flight review is a flight review is a flight review. One flight review is
good for two years in anything you're qualified to fly. The same goes for an
additional pilot rating (for example, if you get a PP-ASES rating).
