Jumps off the ground and climbs better than any 150/152 ever dreamed. Bummer, we'll use the Bonanza for the flight review.įound out the FBO's standard procedure was to fill the tanks only to the tab so two people wouldn't bust 1320, so off we went. ![]() Looked over Weight & Balance the night before, discovered with gas, me and the lighter female instructor, we would be over gross. Time for a flight Review, let's do something different. I got checked out in the 162 at my local FBO just for kicks. As suppliers change and avionics change, more mods will be needed just to keep planes in the air and up to date. I know at least one S-LSA owner (AMD/Zenith 601) who converted to E-LSA because the original factory went out of business and was not available to sign off on things. ![]() As I understand it, the “factory” is supposed to sign off on any mods, not sure an STC process exists. But the LSA design limits and market were just too constrained to have another 172 or SR22 type of breakout success story.įor S-LSA’s the process for mods is different. ![]() I don’t think there is anything wrong with the Sk圜atcher beyond other LSA’s. ĭue to the weight limit, LSA often seem less robust than 152/172 type airplanes, they just dont seem like 10,000 or 20,000 hour birds. Insurance claims and botched takeoff/landing runway excursions are common to LSA. All LSA fly like the lightweight kites they are, the wind pushes them around more than a 172.
