What is this sports pilot license about?
Hi Again,
I was noticing their have been a lot of posts on the usenet about this sports pilot license that doesn't even require a physical. What is the point of this? I think it is crazy from what I have read. It makes it sound like you all you need to do is show a drivers license and you can fly a lighweight? My dad was a pilot and owned a C172. About 12 years ago, I had gotten all my hours in except for the solo. My father sold the plane after it received hail damage. I finally have decided to go back and get my private pilots license. However, I am starting from scratch because even though something like a C172 is easy to fly, it is extremely important to go through all the training and learn how to fly properly. My personal goal is to get my Private Pilot's License and then go and get my instrument rating. However, it worries me that there may be people that are just waiting for the sports pilot certifcation in order to get their pilot by learning at home or however. I want a no fly zone declared over my house if that is the point of the sports pilot license. FF |
