I agree 100% I sold my Cessna 172 and purchased A Champ 7AC so I would be
in Sport Pilot Cat. It appears to me the FAA is not interested in safety
only the beaurocracy because I will be more likley to wreck the Champ than
the 172
Just my .02 worth

My CFI told me that he feels the newer Sport Pilot is LESS likely to have an accident because he/she is more aware of the inherit dangers involved with flying. He said they pay closer attention to detail and actually USE the checklists. He went on to say that it seems once a pilot gets over 100 hours or so, they become "comfortable" with flying and all that's involved and aren't paying as close attention as they used to. Its those pilots that get into trouble. He should know - he's also a Light Sport FAA Examiner and a Commercial Pilot.

Let’s not forget what a Sport Pilot is allowed to fly, when and where – slow planes with a low stall speed in good daylight weather with the ground visible. Since faster and trickier planes in more difficult conditions are available to other types of pilots it would be logical to expect that private pilots with the same number of hours are more likely to face greater challenges than a Sport Pilot.
