It will in fact take time for all of this to take hold. Partly due to
the fact that everything the government touches takes forever! And probably
alot of CFI's and flight schools will take there time at "getting with the
program". I can't tell you the different CFI's I talked to in this area that
had no clue as to what the "Sport Pilot" even was. Some do not even care to
know! I would hope any CFI would be like a MD , and get all the latest info


You're quite right, but a CFI with a will can cut through the garbage
and get something done.

Under sport pilot rules, recreational pilots were grandfathered
(grandsonned?) under the new ATC training procedures. The new rules
went into effect on September 1. On September 6 I had my endorsement
to fly in B, C, & D airspace, thanks to my CFI/friend and to AOPA.
