I have the 1st 2 hrs done for the Wings Program". How does it work to get the 3 rd hr compleated? Our plane is not equipped with an attitude indicator so I wonder how i can get the hood or instrument training? Instrument training is not required for Sport Pilot but you need it for the Wings program?

If you want to go this way than you ned to find a different airplane with the intruments to accomplish this. Talked with the FAA and they are trying to incorporate Sport Pilots and LSA into the wings program, but no date as to when this might happen. The best and easiest would to have your typical flight review which is only 1 hour flight time (verses 3 hours flight time for the wings program) plus the one hour ground time. You could accomplish this in you own airplane. best, paul Back to top            Sport Pilot Talk Forum Index -> Ask The Examiner Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB Search Engine Indexer Powered by phpBB 2.0.22 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group
