Sounds like an over simplification to me. A 20k 150 can become
maintenance nightmare especially in a training environment. I don't
believe I would even get in a 20K 150 flying contraption? Then the
additional inspections required, training insurance etc. Not for this
guy. Five additional hours for a PP I believe is another
oversimplification. The flight time will be way in excess of that
based on all national averages to cover all the additional training
requirements. Sport pilots can fly anywhere they want in the national
airspace, just not at night. Works for me.Ed

My son bought an IFR equipped 150 for under $20k. He plans on getting
an instrument rating in it and instructing in it. There is no way he
could have paid 80 and up for a plane. ROI, yes, much better.
The license itself... I totally recommend to students that if they can
get a medical, they are much better off with a PP over a SP if they
have any idea of eventually upgrading. Way more options on where and
what they can fly. I have had guys come back to me later wanting to
upgrade to PP so they can fly at night, or fly a C-172 and haul 4
people, etc. I always tell people that if they are absolutely sure
that they will be happy flying within the limits of SP that it is a
good way to go, but if they think they might want more in the future,
they will have to study again for another written, more dual, and pay
for another checkride. There is only 5 more hours of dual time
required for a PP anyway. Don't get me wrong, it is a real license,
it just has limitations. If you don't mind those limitations, then no
problem.
I really haven't been following the used LSA market. I'm sure some are
out there now. What are they bringing on the used market?

Well, one simple thing is a 150 can be bought for 20k and the current
crop of LSA's are 80-100k.
If I were looking to buy an aircraft and get ROI.... ROI is going to be
better on the Cessna 150.
Another issue with sport pilot is it is not seen as a 'real' license.
The CFI's don't see it that way, the industry does not see it that way,
the FAA sorta does not see it that way, and most pilots do not see it
that way.
