CT4ME Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here's a good article about LSAs - how they are different from other aircraft. Good reading for "transition" pilots. Light Sport Flying With In Flight USA Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Very good article and one I can relate to. I transitioned to my LPA a little more than a year ago. It took longer to transition than it did for my first solo. I've been told several times that it's harder for GA pilots to transition than for people just getting into flying, I believe it. While making the transition I commmented that the experience was some where between humbling & humiliating. After 80 hours in the LPA I'm still a "rookie".

Roger Lee Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Maybe a rookie, but you still have a cool wing lift jack. p.s. I have a cool wing lift jack now, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercity Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm approaching a 1000hrs teaching in CTs and I still feel like a "rookie" occasionally! I can relate to the article as a transition pilot from spam cans! The CT has really taught me to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
207WF Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Got my IPC (instrument proficiency check) in my CT yesterday. 600 hours in the bird and I am still sometimes a rookie. Keeping a constant, coordinated standard rate turn is still a challenge! WF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRon Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've got about 900 hours TT and 160 in the CTLS but it still humbles me in landings sometimes. (But it is such a cool airplane.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpiper Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The day that you think you can no longer be humbled by your plane, at least on occassion, is the day you should consider hanging up your wings. Every flight I make has room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
