NYT on student starts and Sport Pilot
Although they got a few things wrong about Sport Pilot, this isn't a bad piece...
Matt Wald piece in NYT...
Excerpt:
Time and money drive others away. The prospect of taking months to earn a pilot’s license is less appealing now. It is also expensive, $5,000 to $7,000. Renting even a tiny two-seat plane runs $75 an hour, and an instructor, $40 an hour or so. Fuel costs money, too, but its recent price increase is not a major consideration, because small planes burn only six to seven gallons an hour.
