So who says you need to take all your training for Sport Pilot in
Light Sport Aircraft? You only need time in a LSA to get signed off for that
type of LSA and to take the practical. Most of the training could be taken
in those single engine Cessnas. You will need to find a LSA to fly after you
get your certificate.
As I see it, there will be mostly two types of Sport Pilots. Those flyers
who have many hours in ultralights and own a "fat" ultralight and want to
continue flying that airplane after the deadline and those private pilots
and above who are having difficulty maintaining a medical certificate. Both
groups are exempt from most of the training requirements for Sport pilot.
The ultralight flyers who are members of recognized ultralght organizations
can count their hours in ultralights towards Sport Pilot and private pilots
and above have already exceeded the minimum training required.
