LSA Rules
Light Sport Aircraft (LSAs) have a number of restrictions, including: 2 seats only, no retractable gear, Vh =120 KIAS, Gross Weight 1320 lbs, and VFR Only.
It is the VFR Only that confuses me, as many of the new LSA planes have glass cockpits, and seem to have all requirements for IFR flight. Of course, an LSA certificated pilot cannot fly IFR.
But what if an IFR pilot hops into an LSA plane? I cannot find any specific reason that an IFR pilot cannot fly an LSA plane IMC.
Can anyone shed light on this?
