Default Adding on airplane

issued drivers license. Now here is the kicker. If you have had your
FAA physical denied or revoked for any reason you can not fly LSA
class but if you have let it laps without the revocation or denial and
can certify lyour health ike you do for a glider then have fun. The
LSA limitations are - briefly- max weight 1320 lbs, daylight only, max
two passenger, max speed 120 kts., max altitude 10,000' (yes there is
a LSA glider rating but the 10,000' limitation is still there.)


So if you don't think you can get a medical, but have a driver's
license, and feel fit to fly, and want to fly an "airplane", then the
touring motorglider is still the better deal. Something like a
Diamond Katana Extreme or Stemme S6 will let you fly higher, at night,
and possibly faster than you could in a light sport airplane.

Ain't regulations fun?! :-)
