----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Don't understand you here. Why would a C meet the spirt of the reg, but a D not? You talking about just the GW increase on the D? Because, I always had to bring my C in at over 70 mph, because if I wasn't on the ground by 60, it would fall out of the sky in short order. Larry

If the FAA were to relax the requirements to include Ercoupes, they would be opening up a can of worms that would never end. It seems to me that a 415C... ...the original Coupe... probably meets the spirit of the regulation. And a 415D does not. Any plane that roars down final around 80MPH just doesn't give the duffer enough time to get things sorted out. And the 'D' demands a care in the final stages of landing that just does NOT meet the spirit of the regs. If they're saying that a 7AC or J3 is within the capabilities of a 'Sport Pilot' then the 415C should be there, too. On the other hand, one wonders what these guys are trying to do: certainly the marginal pilot is safer in a 172 than he is in a 7AC or J3. I'd much rather see a rule that put the Sport Pilot in a 172 where he could not fill the back seats than as PIC of a 7AC with his grandson in the back seat. Sorry I'm not on the bandwagon with this proposal. I know I'm supposed to be thrilled.
