Sport Pilot Talk

The owner is a Delta pilot and hired instructors who were building time. They apparently ran out of instructors
sold the Sport Cruiser and bought an Alto. Not sure what happened to that.

SportPilot, unfortunately no. Will be flying the school's 172M. Fortunately one of our friends has one
that I fly in regularly. I actually sold my Lightning 3 years ago due to not using it because of work.
Too good of an airplane to have sitting in a hangar.

Gene, I'm sure someone will point out some exception, but once you are a Sport Pilot, your student certificate is no longer valid. You are now a Sport Pilot upgrading to a Private certificate. You will, of course, need a 3rd class medical to solo (under CFI supervision) anything other than an LSA o...

Thank you Dr. Paul and SportPilot. Just trying to make sure that I have all that I
need. Looking forward to my next step in aviation.

I know this is an old post, but I did the majority of my Sport Pilot training in a Sport Cruiser. N187SF at the now defunct Atlanta Sport Flight. Ended up transitioning to a Remos G3-600 and later my own Arion Lightning. Now I am back in the market and training for upgrade to Private. Still what a m...

SportPilot, That is what I am trying to understand. While I am a Sport Pilot, I am training to upgrade to Private. If I am understanding this correctly, I will NOT need a Student Certificate. My Sport Pilot Certificate covers this. Am I understanding this correctly? Thank you for your comments.

So a quick question. How does this rule affect Sport Pilots who are now working on their upgrade to
Private? Will I be required to obtain a new Student Certificate or does my Sport Pilot Certificate cover
me?

33hrs over 5 month period with a final 10hrs over 3 days in Sarasota. Flew long cross country down and back with my former partner
He finished his in 20.9hrs over 2 weeks at the same flight school in Sarasota. Unfortunately that school is no longer open.

Andy,

Who is your insurance underwriter?

Sounds like it was a great presentation Jack.

I have insurance through Falcon too. Britt Paulk or should I say WAS with them as they are exiting the aviation insurance business according the letter I received. In turn Falcon quoted me from another agency a quote of $2005.00/year. That is a $500 increase. I flew 88hrs last year and no claims. Ai...

I own and fly an EAB Arion Lightning. A really nice low wing with fun flying characteristics. It can be a handful if you have not had proper transition training. Of the recommended 10hrs of transition training 50% was spent on approach and landing. My aircraft has an approach speed of 52kts whether ...

I have flown only 5:

SportCruiser
Remos G3-600
Remos GX NXT
My EA-B Arion Lightning

and a Grumman Traveler.

I love flying MY Lightning.

The Bing on my Jab 3300 is good to about 5000' after that it runs rich. I had a Hackman mixture control put on
it and it made a world of difference in both the GPH and in EGT/CHTs. Coming back from Arizona at 9500'
I averaged 3.8gph and 120kts at 75% throttle.
