Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: NAFI poll

I just looked at the percentages in the poll and right now 41% say no. So if they don't feel the training should count towards PPL then are they also saying SP are not safe pilots because they weren't trained by a CFI? Or do they even consider a SP a pilot at all?? Seems the NO voters are saying to the SPIs out there that the training they are giving isn't real pilot training. How can you read anything other then that into it? Hey Chris I guess you aren't really giving pilot training as a SPI. Sure are some crazy ideas out there.

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.

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?
