Sport Pilots and your local airport

No, you have to do a pair of 360s in the pattern with your Bo while you
wait for them to land.


Hmmmm. I lot of the airplanes that I have been flying for over fifty years
qualify as Light Sport Aircraft. I was following them in the pattern in my
"Bo" fifty years ago. No problem.

Maybe you are flying you patterns too fast. :-)

Hampton NH has a Taylorcraft on order and expects to become a dealer.
(I don't know if it's the light aircraft, though.) I asked Mike Hart
if he'd let a sport pilot rent one of his airplanes, if he (the pilot)
could get insurance, and he said: "Sure. It's our niche."

My instructor/pal has been very interested in the project, and enabled
me to get ATC privileges under the new rules, but I don't think he's
gone as far as becoming a sport pilot instructor.

For me, it's all a matter of insurance. I will talk to my insurance
company later in the year, and if I can get $40K hull / $1 million
liability as a sport pilot, at a price comparable to what I am now
paying, I'll probably forgo the medical and fly thereafter under sport
pilot rules. Too much of my medical life is governed by the FAA at
present.
