Do yourself a favor and finish your Private in the plane you soloed in.
Remember, your solo sign-off is a type rating! That means you will have
to be signed off for solo for each type of aircraft you will fly. C150
and C152 require a sign-off for each.


Single Engine Land below 12,500 lbs MaxGW do not require "type ratings".

Only insurance companies require " insurance signoffs" to fly different
models of aircraft...
Not the FARs... (at least in US) .. most sign offs for small fixed gear
trainers can be completed within one hour by a competent pilot and CFI.
Transition checkouts to "complex" or "high performance" SEL aircraft will
require additional training.
