Requirements for
approved to fly one, are similar to a recreational pilots permit.
The major benefit of the LSA is the less restrictive medical
requirements. If you are medically well-enough to drive a car and
have a drivers license, you should be able to get an LSA license.
The other big advantage is the time and expense in getting a
license. You can be flying your LSA aircraft with as little as 16
hours of instruction.
What Plane Should You
Buy?
There are several older aircraft that qualify,
including the Piper J-3 Cub and several Taylorcraft models. The most
popular older plane is the 1946 Ercoupe 415C, because it has a
tricycle-gear (the others are usually taildraggers) with an electric
start. Most of the other older planes have to be "propped"
to start, lacking electrical systems and radios.
There are
dozens of brand-new planes that are available. Some feature the
latest in avionics, with luxury interiors and features like
parachute systems. They are also a lot more money. Right now, the
best-selling LSA is the $112,000 Cessna 162 Skycatcher, with over
800 sold, and they haven't even shipped the first one. When you look
closely at this model, you realize it is really a brand-new Cessna
150, with the old reliable Continental 100 horsepower engine,
redesigned to save weight, a beautiful glass panel, and for the
joystick generation, a stick instead of yokes.
