Why Fly Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) for sport and private pilots

[floridaskater07]

Many airports to sell "mogas", additionally, you can run 100LL in the smaller Rotax 503/582 engines, you jsut have to change the plugs more often. I have used 100LL MANY times on cross countries in my 503 with no issues whatsoever.

I fly a Tecnam Bravo out of FCI (Chesterfield County [VA] Airport] so I can go for my Sport Pilot certification/license.

The stick feels more easier than the yoke that I had in the Cessna 152 back in 1998.

It is fun. I can fly the Tecnam easier than the Cessna 152.

@kd4adv I agree with you 100%! I went from a C150 and a C172 to an SR20,22 and I felt the stick was alot easier than the yoke. I actually prefer stick, but will fly any plane that still has a yoke:)

Just imagine how much fun it is to get fuel for your flying mobility scooter when airports only sell 100LL avgas and the Rotax manual specifically calls for automotive gas. While the video claims that you can fly IFR or at night, it doesn't mention that you are required to have a full private license, not just a sport license to do that.

You can run on AVGAS many people do. Just look in the manual. Yes you can fly Light-Sport aircraft at night with a private pilot license. This is about LSA not sport pilots.

LSA is the way to go and there are more and more aircraft to fly every month.
