What GA needs

Agreed but now we have LSA so that doesn't have to be an issue for

LSA is so restrictive that it's uninteresting to many potential
pilots. And the existence of LSA demonstrates that the normal PPL is
too draconian in its requirements. Flying an LSA doesn't make you
any more fit to fly.


Tell me what is so restrictive about it. The type of flight it authorizes
would cover 90% of the recreational GA flight in the US.



Please give us an example of the excessive requirements? And the
average recreational pilot (which is what this thread is about)
isn't going to be flying retracts.

Why not?



Because of the additional cost of the aircraft and the general lack of need
for it in recreational GA flying.


Well, now you are getting into the professional side of things but
you are once again wrong. I'm sure some of the doctors and lawyers
around here will jump in on this one.

I'm not talking about professional pilots, even private pilots have
this problem.

So it is your stance that the requirements for a private pilot ticket are on
par with the requirements to be a lawyer or doctor?
