Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: I need help

Just curious John but where do you get your information the local rag. or some body's hurt feelings. For one a brake failure and a 20 ft over run on a my grass runway into some shrubs is not what i would call a crash no amount of training would change that. Obviously someone in my local has embellished the truth as i have hit a nerve. My point was if your flying your flying. Why the different hrs, med, etc for certification. Unless of course your flying commercial then its understandable as more training is needed for the IFR, ETC.
