• Each LSA make/model is different
• They are not simple aircraft
• Regardless of pilot hours or certificate held – the
first 20 hours flying a LSA are the highest risk
• You don’t know, what you don’t know
• Unconventional designs
• Poor performance charts, POHs and training

– Emphasize takeoffs, landings and go-arounds
• Visit a variety of airports
• Fly in a variety of conditions
• Crosswind, short and soft techniques
