Hello all,
I'm currently not a pilot, but am interesting in becoming one. LSA's seem like a great step in that direction. I'm looking for instruction in the area, but having a hard time finding it. |

if you are having trouble finding light sport instruction find a local flight school and do you primary training ( pre solo ) in a 152 or even a 172 or a piper if that is what is used.
not until you are ready to solo do you need a medical or a light sport to continue. |

arnoha- There's a great LSA flight school, Light Sport West, in Salinas in the main terminal building. They are the dealer for about 3 or 4 brands of light sport aircraft and do training in any of them.

Aerodynamic Aviation at Reid Hillview airport in San Jose offers instruction for Light Sport.
Note: Light Sport Airplanes West in Salinas has gone Belly up. |

This doesn't surprise me at all. My wife called them a couple of years ago to see about going there while we were going to be in California for some demo rides. Since they represented several LSA models I felt it would be a good place to try out different models. They said no since I they figured I wouldn't be buying from them they didn't want to waste their time with me. Might be the kind of attitude that kills a business. |

Unfortunately, LSA West closed a couple of months ago. Mike Fletcher and his crew were good folks. Sue Parker was a peach. This economy is even getting the good companies. |
