I made a crude spreadsheet that might help new student pilots get familiar with the avionics. May or may not be helpful. I changed planes several times going from old 6-pack to multiple variations of glass and it was confusing at times. Ballpark prices (not the point of this)

Is it possible to upgrade from a Rotax 912 to a 914 or 916 in a SportCruiser? Does this require an STC? Bristell has several engine options for more HP. No such option when buying a SC. But is it allowed? Perhaps after MOSAIC? Is it up to the manufacturer to certify this? What if you get it...

I see the FAA extended the comment period until January at the request of AEA. What is the play here? Is AEA trying to get more (V speeds, passengers, etc) on behalf of sport pilots or trying to restrict it on behalf of LSA manufacturers that might feel threatened by legacy aircraft being...

Has anyone here done a Sport checkride in the Denver area? I am starting to plan ahead by trying to find one that comes with a good reputation (after reading a few nightmare DPE stories here).

So what would you do? I have the means but don't want to waste $$$ I want a low wing because I have a hard time seeing out of high wing aircraft due to my size. My head hits the canopy in an RV-12. I am training in C-172's. Need performance at altitude. My local airport is at FL 053. Bristell...

I love my CFI. However, he has not had a sport pilot student before and is trying to make sure he follows all the regs. I have provided him with some FAA info and links. Does anyone out there know of a sport CFI that might lend him a few minutes of their time to chat?? I and he would be...

Anyone have any experience with the Magnus Fusion? I am in the market for an LSA. have looked at Bristell, Czech Sport Cruiser, Tecnam. I would like a low wing. I live in Colorado, so also considering whether I want/need > 100hp (Bristell and Magnus offer Rotax 915). Open to other suggestions...

What is the rate for a plane purchased out of state for private use in Colorado? I live in Boulder where the general sales tax is 9.045% these days. I see something that says "Property used in space flight: 5.045%" but I am not sure if that is the right one, if it is a one-time tax or if, like a...

Are there weight and balance questions on the Sport certificate exam? Is an E6B worthwhile having for the exam? I have been using a PPL prep initially, which has these types of questions.

Is it possible to have a neurocog eval prior to an official visit with an AME? It would be reassuring to know that I would pass the neurocog without any hiccups prior to submitting to an official AME. In theory if the neurocog was a disaster, could consider sticking with Sport Pilot license.

Just beginning my journey toward a PPL. Have been told medical clearance up front is smart. Have read many of the threads here regarding that. If someone discontinues an SSRI (say less than 3 years of use) and Ritalin (used for an illness that is not ADHD) and then sees an AME, I assume those...
