Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Skyscraper...

Gary, you are forgetting reserves. Legally you need at least a half
hour when you return. I personally don't know a CFI worth his salt
willing to return with less than a full hour. Too much unexpected stuff
can and will happen during a training flight.) At my school most
training flights are about 1.5 hours. So keeping it to just a minimum
length flight with a minimum reserve, best case scenario you are looking
at 400lbs for people plus bags. And that's assuming we believe the
published number of 490...
