Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Wants to fly

Hey Ok and thanks John for the Fly-In info, Groveland is near us. I will speak to the CFI's in Coleman, I dont know if they are "reg" or Sport CFI's, this is important to me as I fully intend to obtain my PPL in the future.

> At this point make sure that your instructor is a regular CFI, not a CFI-sport instructor. This way all your instruction can count towards a PPL. EAA and AOPA have a petition with the FAA to allow light sport instructors hours to count as well, but we will have to see what the FAA decides. As I am a light sport instructor I feel that I can counsel someone in this regard. If you are only interested in light sport, the a CFI-sport would be fine. On a lighter side, for a fun morning you might consider attending the Fall Fly-in at Gator Field in Groveland on November 19th. Use the following link for more info.
