Default Glass Panel Training

My best guess is that the new designs will haul about the same payload as a
Cessna 152 at about the same speed as a Cessna 172 for a lower cost per mile
than either of the other two. That will probably work out for both hobbs
time and tach time in the very near future--assuming that it is not already
the case.

That does not mean that I am in the least bit pleased. Based upon my belief
that the LSA standard will form the basis of the next new training fleet,
and I remain disgusted by those standards! I believe that the weight limit
should have been at least 750Kg instead of 600Kg, the maximum cruising speed
should have been at least 130Kts instead of 120Kts, and that the standards
should have amended as needed to include the maximum number of type
certificates already owned by US manufacturers for w seat aircraft.

In light of your chosen adjectives, I cannot doubt the sincerity of your
opinion on the matter, however in purely objective terms I would have
difficulty imagining a more off-topic post. . .

Perhaps you intended to respond to a different thread ? ? ? ?
