At a minimum, you normally would need night training and instrument training but since recreation pilot needs neither, that classification could become very popular, ironically.
To me it's been a silly deal from the beginning. The easy logical thing to do would have been to up the sport pilot definition to the same as rec pilot. It was too simple so it's no surprise the FAA didn't come up with it. That's how we got ads-b instead of mandatory radios. I guess Cubs will be able to see me but still not communicate. Not even fathomable in this age of cheap handheld radios.
Thanks Tom. Except for the hours, that pretty well paraphrases my thoughts. Hard to imagine something sensible would be in the process.

I see November 18 the 3rd class reform is moving forward a little closer.
Read it on the AOPA web site. Maybe we'll see some results soon.
Based on an AvWeb article, it looks like they weren't able to move the bill out of committee because they didn't have a quorum!!
Quoting AvWeb - "The session ended in a deferral of S. 571 mid-vote, when the panel realized it did not have a quorum and adjourned for the day."

This kind of stuff isn't going to make it any easier:

What a 4-legged horse-like animal she must be... her diatribe is so full of misrepresentation, innuendo and false assumptions, and she obviously didn't take the time to get educated about the reality of the way that the proposal has already shown to be a safe & viable change, with data compiled over quite a few years. Additionally, it is probable that the "system" will actually be safer with the changes. People who are really quite ignorant about a subject should do their homework a little better before laying on the sarcastic fear-mongering to the general public. I know that this is not a political forum... forgive me.

An amendment was added to give the FAA a year to write the rule. What happened to immediate enactment? The point of the PBOR was to enact the rule because the FAA has been dragging their feet for years. I foresee more amendments to drag it out beyond a year. I hate to be negative but it feels so corrupt at this point. I have the sense that the FAA and med doctors are in control and will amend this to the point it will never get done.
Can we start a drive to simply raise the weight limit, passenger count, and speeds for LSA? Same result.
More and more I want to forget even LSA and go ultralight!
