Earning PPL in a Light Sport Airplane ?

[battplatt]

what's a PPL? SP license? licensed instructor? hanger in garage? do you by chance mean a private pilot certificate? sport pilot certificate? hangar?

drivers have licenses. permission from the government to use public roads. aviators earn certificates. proof of their demonstrated ability to operate aircraft to a particular level of proficiency. which is why instructors sign off logbooks with "CFI", certificated flight instructor. and we don't keep our aircraft on hangars like coats, but in hangars which happens to be a french word roughly meaning "shed". why french? why aileron or empennage?

oh, well. traditions die from misuse. forgive me, it's been a long day.

Man switch to Decaf dude. Way to crush a guy for merely asking a question. If your personal insecurity resides in whether you have a Private Pilot's Licensce or a Private Pilot's Certificate then you must either have a lot of extra time on your hands or you lack the basic understanding of being an aviator.

Semantics are words, actions make or break pilots. And oh by the way, Orville and Wilbur did not have a Cert/Lic/Whatever until the Gov't made them get one, you know giving them permission to fly...in federal airspace...sounds a lot like how a driver's license was described by...who was that again...?

We can all do sarcasm, fear and ridicule as a instructional technique, but all that does is make people realize that it isn't worth it and give up. So do everyone a favor and remeber the old adge...if you don't have something nice (and i'll add constructive...) then shut the H*ll up.
