Opportunities for Flight Schools using Light Sport Aircraft
 Considerably lower purchase cost to buy
new LSA (one half of new Cessna 172)
 Lower airplane insurance (percentage of
insured value)
 Operating expenses considerably lower
than standard-category aircraft (oil, fuel,
spark plugs, etc.)
 Lower maintenance costs
 All these advantages of LSA lead to
lower hourly rates
 LSA can help a new school overcome
barriers to entry the flight training market
(knowledge, brand recoginiton,
economies of scale)
 Use of LSA’s will make flight schools
more competitive in the primary training
market
