Finding an SLSA aircraft to instruct in, and 2. Any student that wants to go further(i.e. Private), the solo hours will count, but the dual hours will not apply for a private ticket. John Weber
And 3. the weight limits of a SLSA will limit you to light weight students if you are more than the standard 170 pound SP-CFI. 4. Will your students be able to find an examiner willing to give check rides in the SLSA the students use.
