different kinds of answers so I thought I would try it here. Can a person get their PPL ticket using an LSA aircraft? Lou

Lou Many pilots have obtained their PPL using aircraft such as Cubs and Champs. The only requirement is that they be equipped to allow the pilot candidate to perform the functions stipulated in the test guide. So long as the aircraft, pilot candidate and pilot examiner do not exceed the LSA weight limit, why not?

Can a person get their PPL ticket using an LSA aircraft? In fact, a person can get their PPL (in an LSA Ercoupe or a non-LSA Ercoupe), so long as it's an Ercoupe WITHOUT rudder pedals - in 25 hours, instead of 40 hours. Your ticket will carry a no rudder pedal restriction/limitation. http://www.avweb.com/news/avmail/187166-1.html 2nd story down http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications...m?article=5422 "It's my guess that anyone taking sport pilot training in an Ercoupe is a lot more likely to get their ticket in the 20-hour minimum."

Lou LSA comes into consideration only for sport pilots. For all other pilots it is just another aircraft. You can take a checkride, or fly IFR or do whatever that you normally do with airplanes.

You don't need a VOR in the plane just like you don't need a GPS or NDB.

You don't need a VOR, just demonstrate proficiency using an electronic navigation system. However, that is besides the point. An LSA could be equipped well, or it could be bare bones, just like any other airplane. The LSA's I have seen are equipped far better than the regular airplanes. Our club LSA has an IFR approach certified GPS, autopilot, a second nav/comm and the whole works.
