Can a person get their PPL ticket using an LSA aircraft?

LSA comes into consideration only for sport pilots. For all other
pilots it is just another aircraft. You can take a checkride, or fly
IFR or do whatever that you normally do with airplanes.

What if the plane doesn't have equipment used in the
PPL course of study, like VOR?


You don't need a VOR, just demonstrate proficiency using an electronic
navigation system. However, that is besides the point. An LSA could be
equipped well, or it could be bare bones, just like any other
airplane. The LSA's I have seen are equipped far better than the
regular airplanes. Our club LSA has an IFR approach certified GPS,
autopilot, a second nav/comm and the whole works.
