Wondering What Light Sport Can Do For You?

Wondering What Light Sport Can Do For You?
Maybe you are a private pilot but never renewed your medical then Sport
Pilot is a great place for you. Discussions on the new (LSA) Light-Sport
Aircraft and Sport Pilot license. Please ask questions. Talk about anything
related to Light-Sport Aircraft and the Sport Pilot license. Many UL
pilots across the country need to transition to Sport Pilot so if you are
one of them and need some answers don't waste any more time start asking.
Deadlines are coming up fast!

Have a good day and stay out of the trees!

Tough to make an assessment whether a group would be worthwhile to join when you
can't see what's being posted. Why not make the archives public?

Is that guy landing that thing "wheels up" on the grass or did he
retract them that early in the takeoff?

Low pass? With a seaplane, he could have landed, and done nothing more than
scratched the paint.

Retractable landing gear are not permitted on Light Sport Aircraft.

Supposedly the FAA has approved at least one exemption for
an amphiban and may extend that to all amphibians.

Otherwise, someone needs to work on designs for retractable
floats...

A neighbor at Zuehl (grass runway) landed his 210 gear up a couple years back.

The ONLY dammage (other than the curly prop) was an antenna on the belly.
Heck, the pain wasn't even scratched!

Oh, I'm SURE that the pain WAS scratched! In fact, I'm sure that the
pain was in a bleeding wallet!

If I landed a 210 on its belly, I can guarantee you my pain will be more
than scratched. But if it has a curly prop, chances are good it will
need an engine teardown.

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

IIRC (Ron, back me up on this?) dual-position gear are permitted for
amphibian LSAs. You don't need a case-by-case exemption.
