Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group sport pilot training in challenger or quicksilver

A few years ago I went to a flight school and discussed sport pilot training. What they told me is they can train me in all the basics of flying in any aircraft but for solo time as well as check ride I would need to have my own LSA or access to one. I ended up going the full route and getting my privates for around 8K. Could of done it a bit cheaper but those 152's are cramped in my opinion.   Daniel --- On Wed, 3/30/11, Peter Walker <peterwalker58@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Peter Walker <peterwalker58@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group sport pilot training in challenger or quicksilver To: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 3:03 AM   Hello 2011 Challenger Light Sport XS-50 & XL-65 Peter --- On Wed, 3/30/11, flip33 <kenbrad2002@yahoo.com> wrote: From: flip33 <kenbrad2002@yahoo.com> Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group sport pilot training in challenger or quicksilver To: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 4:32 PM   Hi, I see that there is a dealer offering sport pilot instruction in his challenger for $95 an hour using his plane. I believe all Quad City Challengers are EXP homebuilt aircraft (unless they fell into the ELSA window). I also learned of a special exemption for teaching pilots to fly a Sonex. According to a friend of mine, he can charge for training in his experimental Sonex. He is a CFI. I have always thought that a S-LSA was required for instruction for the sport pilot license. I searched a bit and did not come up with an answer. What do you folks know about this? Thanks, Ken
