Exactly! That's what I'd be doing too, if I could afford it. Isn't that
the whole idea of the Sport Pilot certificate. Why else would someone
with
a PPL want to restrict himself with a LSA? The good old days when almost
any airport had a couple of stick-and-rudder tail draggers around for
rental
are long gone. Recreation flying has become out of reach for many. But
what the hell, I can't afford a Beemer, either. grin


How would a private pilot be restricted by flying a LSA?

A private pilot without a medical or the hopes of ever having another one
would be restricted to the Sport Pilot limits in a LSA. But that is all
moot anyhow if he can't afford the LSA.
