Personally I think so, with 15 hours of flight instructor flying and then 5
hours of solo time you can get the sport license. Then you just need to add
time with an instructor to get the PPL. You can train in the same planes
that you will get your PPL in (single engine), but to do your sign off
flight and solos it has to be in a sport class plane. So to me it is a good
way to be able to fly the sport planes while you continue to work on the
PPL. So not only are you getting to have fun flying earlier but you also are
getting alot more flying time in as experience, and I have no doubt this
will make anyone a better PPL when they do finish up with that.

Gilan,
I start my sport pilot training this weekend.


My wife is eight hours into her PPL training. Is "sport pilot" a good
interim target?
