The above text is the original text from my e-mail.
My point was and still is that it's a little stupid on the FAA's part with this soon to be non medical private pilot license that you would be able to only have a four seater with a 180hp engine,and to be able take yourself and your pet (dog)
and one friend up at a time.
And as far as sports pilot category goes it's far from being DOA and is very much alive and well and will continue to be a great stepping stone for all people including the disabled to get the new soon to be non medical private pilot license.
