A medical isn’t required under Light Sport / Sport Pilot rules. However, I have heard of some flight schools requiring it, due to their insurance company mandating it.

To Dick Snell
No, a medical is not required to fly under light sport rules. You must have either a 3rd class medical or valid drivers license

A local FBO requires an FAA Medical to fly its Light Sport aircraft. Is this the usual requirement?

Flying the Remos is a little different from the “regular” GA aircraft I have been flying for over 37 years but its fun. As an instructor I believe LSA is more attractive to new pilots that just want to fly local and have fun. I find it interesting that there is only one flight training school school in my area that sees the potenial and offers the Remos for rental. Even a local Cessna dealer doesn’t understand why anybody would want to learn to fly in anything smaller the a C-172

$5,000 for sport certificate training is no bargain. Others do it for much less than that.

We have used the Remos in our Sport Pilot training program for over a year now. With an average fuel burn of 2.5 gallons per hour, low maintenance costs, and that “new aircraft” appeal, it has been a great success.
