Would someone tell me if the Cessna 150 has been approved as a plane that 

the SPL trainer can be trained in?



I fly a Firefly and would like to get my SPL.  Working on getting my Firefly 

approved and inspected now.

The C-150 does not meet the requirements of gross weight of 1320 lbs.

You can "train" in the C-150 yes. My 37hrs in our 150 that we sold count towards my SP ticket.

Now there's a funny catch-22.  As a student pilot, an instructor can give 

you dual and even sign you off to solo a C-150 (or even a C-172 or larger 

plane)... but as soon as you get your SP certificate you can't fly it any 

more.  Go figure.

Dana,



Im not for certian but I would think even with a SP ticket you could fly the C-150 or 172 or even larger for that matter as long as a CFI sings you off to do so. The SP ticket would not keep you from furthering your ratings. Agree?

Jimmy,



What are you getting your firefly approved and inspected for? Is it not FAR 103 legal? If not what are you going to register it as? LSA?

Well, it's not an SP ticket that would allow you to fly the 150/172/etc., it would be a signed-off-for-solo student private pilot certificate (i.e., a 3rd class medical).  The SP ticket, in that case, would be irrelevant since you wouldn't need it to be flying on the 3rd class medical. 



But all your hours in an LSA as a SP would count toward a PPL or greater ticket.

Ok guys,



Bear with me.............LOL..............First of all the Kolbra is coming 

just fine...............Just wish I had more time to work on 

it....LOL..........ain't retired yet.............



In our area it is hard to find a current flight instructor with a good 

personality and information also...........We did the written exam in the 

spring of last year and everyone in the club who was in the class went and 

passed the written in Statesboro, Ga (at) Pegasus flight school..........They 

are now looking into the LSA class..........Great people.



However, we used Mark Burpee of Destination Flight of 3 rivers 

Michigan.......Met him at Sun-n-fun.....teaches powered parachute and fixed 

wing..............But he and his flight school have 2 instructors who are 

willing to travel.........



One of my friends bought a Sport Rally LSA..........and it was just 

delivered.........7Hrs. non-stop..........from Michigan to 9GA1 Briar Patch 

Springfield, GA.................WOW................34 gallons of 

gas...........BUT.............$ 110,000.00 later.........



Gotta have my Kolbra...............and gonna get their 

too...........LOL....................Mark charges $ 110.00 an hour wet, for 

his aircraft and will train you in a N-numbered two seater for $ 30.00 per 

hour...............In the fall, we will have 7 members splitting the 

cost..........This is the way to go..................

Building still.........But life is getting in the way.........LOL

Jimmy,  The last I heard the 150 will never be approved for Sport Pilot,

although Cessna is designing a SP plane.

    If you can get a medical why not go private pilot and train in the 150,

I don't think it is a lot more difficult than SP.

The biggest difference (and possibly a reason) in going for SP vs Private is in the aeronautical experience requirements....  it's double for Private so it will set you back more in plane rentals and dual stick time to get your Private.  SP requires 20hrs of logged flight, incl 15hrs of flight training and 5 hrs of solo flight training.  Private requires at least 40hrs total, with 20 hrs or flight traing and 10 hrs of solo flight training.  Private requires 3 hrs of x/c flight training and more x/c flying, day and night, plus 3hrs training for the practical, etc.  I recently got my private and had logged nearly 80 hrs when I finished it.  My CFI told me the national avg is around 72 hrs, so you can see the reqmts are very minimal and most folks end up taking a lot more.   I own my own plane and had free instruction so I was in no hurry and enjoyed the whole experience.  If I was having to pay $100 or more/hr for the plane rental and more for instruction, I would have been in more of a hurry to get it done sooner...
