    Another Sport Pilot Question

    As a Sport Pilot, you can get an endorsement to fly in Class B and D airspace. Can you also get an endorsement to fly above 10k MSL? Thanks, Jack

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    I have an RV12 (ELSA) with a Rotax 912 ULS and I love it. You do have to pick your days but I have decided if it is too rough to go up in the -12 I probably wouldn't go up in a 172 either...

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    I have an RV12 with a Rotax 912 ULS. I have a 590 lb useful load. I currently weigh 250 and I have flown larger friends with no problems whatsoever. You just have to limit fuel and baggage. Plenty of room (height and width), nice cruise speed and fly's great! It holds 19.8 gallons but I usually...

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    I work in aviation because I love aviation. I own a plane because I love aviation. I'm on this forum because I love aviation. Reasons that are important to me that allow me to "justify" having my own airplane for now. Availability - it's always available. I don't have to compete with club...

    It is expensive. I bought a light sport and love it. I use to have an offshore boat and that hobby was even more expensive. I pay for the plane by sacrificing in other areas. I drive an older car, don't eat out much and I maintain the plane myself. As far as justification, I can't sit at my...

    Private pilot to sport pilot

    Thank you for your response. It occurred to me after reading your response and others that my "endorsement" is in my wallet in the form of a PPL. Sometimes I go down the rabbit hole when trying to interpret regs...

    Private pilot to sport pilot

    Hello, I bought a LSA. I only fly my airplane so when my medical expired I did not renew it. The reasons I didn't renew: 1. I don't need a medical (LSA) 2. I don't fly above 10k feet and can only think of a couple of times that I ever did. I live in the southeast. 3. I don't fly at night...

    Private pilot to sport pilot

    Hello, My name is Jack and I'm new to this forum. I apologize if I did not post in the proper section. I am a private operating as a sport pilot. Does this mean I have to carry around endorsements or is it implied that I have had the required training to operate in B, C and D airspace as an...
