Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Was Transponders now Dual Controls

Jim,

My understanding of 'dual controls' for a trike means steering and throttle.

> This raises an interesting question.  Define "dual controls".  I would suggest that the requirement you cite basically gives an examiner an out, because ultimately, he can do whatever he's comfortable with, and the dual control requirement allows him to bow out gracefully.  My Super Decathlon and my helicopter have dual controls.  I have yet to fly a trike that has full dual controls.  I'm sure some exist.  I just haven't been lucky enough to fly one.
