Subject: RE: [COUPERS-TECH] LSA for a 415D
If that number were increased to 800 kg (1764 lb.) or 850 kg (1874 lb.),
they could include most or all of the C-150 and other appropriate
certificated trainers.
That would give Sport Pilot a huge boost because now, those are the
trainers
that most FBOs and independent CFIs use. New Sport Pilots (not PP
downgrades) are only running about 45 per month through this summer
compared
to about 2,000 per month new Private Pilots.
Damned if they do. Damned if they don't.
There are some pros and cons to increasing the weight of LSA.
Pro:
More Ercoupe models eligible. (All?)
Other trainer type aircraft eligible.
More Sport Pilots!
Con:
Our Ercoupe's value will drop back down.
More 'Sport' Pilots?
Others???
