Basic VFR Instruments

[Bill Berson]

There is no difference between an E-AB that qualifies as LSA and any other E-AB as far as certification or equipment requirements goes. The only thing that LSA compliance affects is what level of pilot certification is required to fly it.

I am not so sure. The one operating limitation I found that is different is the very operating limitation that requires a category and class rating for the pilot in command. A Sport Pilot doesn't get category and class ratings. They get endorsements.
So that same limitation must or should not apply. So an inspector going down the list of required operating limitations may or should have some discretion. I don't know if they are allowed discretion to apply common sense.

I found this sample LSA operating limitations: http://www.faa-aircraft-certificatio...operating.html which is apparently for SLSA, and I am not sure if it applies to all LSA. Or if I can request something like it at EA-B certification. Item 17 is different from a regular EA-B. And item 17 (d) seems to allow a Recreation or Private pilot without category or class rating.

Joe said student solo is still allowed in EA-B, but I don't yet clearly see that privilege in the operating limitations. My last hope was that LSA might have operating limitations that make sense. I may want to be an LSA instructor using my future EA-B and student solo would be needed. I also know my EA-B instruction can't be "for hire". (it would be free)
After all, LSA was supposed to be for training, for crying out loud.
