Signed off my first student...He passed!

We do a lot of sport pilot training. I had a student come in to transition from Ultralights to Sport Pilot. He did really well, came in prepared, and studied very hard. He passed his checkride yesterday. It feels good that I helped get him there.

Congrats! It is a great feeling to know you have trained someone well and they can now go do it on their own.

Are you a LSA instructor?

OK, I'm interested because you say you do a lot of this.
Are there any people doing the LSA instructor rating at 150 hours?

If you are a "normal" CFI you can teach for the sport pilot liscense if you have 5 hours in the "set" of aircraft.

Set of aircraft is broken down by configuration and cruise speed. Slow LSA planes have a cruise speed of less than 87 kts, fast LSAS planes have a cruise speed greater than 87.

So you can have 5 hours in a slow tricycle gear LSA, ande teach in any model that fall in that set.

Yeah, there are some weird endorsements too. For the ultralight transitions, I had to endorse that I saw his letter from an ultralight instructor and that he is fit to take the test, I had to endorse him for an aircraft with a Vh greater than 87 KCAS (fast light sport aircraft), and I had to endorse him to operate at an airport with a control tower.

Where I worked no. No one came through us for a LSA Instructor Ticket, although I thought about doing it as a 200 hour Private Pilot, but I decided to get just my Commercial and full CFI.

I know a guy that got his LSA instructor license as a private pilot. Why do you ask?
