I heard that this is a good idea for people who can’t pass the FAA Medical Exam.
My intro flight was the only reason I became a pilot. It was in a brand new, glass panel, Tecnam Sierra Light Sport. In Europe they even do aerobatics in the little thing. It was the most fun I’ve ever had.
Do the Light Sport. I trained Private Pilot in a 2-seater anyways, like a lot of people do, so you may not even notice the difference…. since LSA’s have two seats.
They “say” you can get it done in half the time and that it cuts all your total costs in half. The required hours are lower, and certain things are not taught.
