Re: Sport Pilot License?

Michael,

I have good news!!! Give this video a watch:
According to the new FAA reauthorization, LSA category will be extended to include many airplanes including ?the DA40 and possibly up to the 182. The details are not yet clear but will be made realistically soon due to the Reauthorization already being signed into law by the president. Additionally, light sport CFI¡¯s can be anyone with a PPL who takes the Exam for LSA CFI. I imagine this will become highly popular in the coming years given these changes in the categories.

Watch that video they explain the changes in better detail.

Hope this helps,

Hello EAA 646 Folks, Thanks to a painfully slow FAA Medical process (my last submission was Oct 24th and still no response) my AME exam (Sept 2, 2022) will expire before I get a Class 3 medical. So I am looking seriously at a Sport Pilot License. I am fine with a 2-seater and VFR day flying.
I have about 55 hours in the Diamond DA-40 with StarFlight at KROA, but obviously I have yet to solo.
My question: Can anyone point me to an instructor and an LSA plane? I am not certain, but I heard that LSA planes can't be rented, so how does one get in one for a lesson? The only solution I can think of is I have to build/buy my own LSA. That said, maybe I am misunderstanding.
Anyway, thanks if you are able to help. If you don't like to type, I would be willing to speak over the phone.
Cheers,
Mike Bellino
