On January 21st through January 24th, 2010, sport aviation
enthusiasts gathered at the Sebring Regional Airport for the annual
Sport Aviation Expo. Held in Sebring, Florida, the Expo is the
place to see, buy, and sell aircraft operating under the LSA rule
such as fixed-wings, trikes, powered parachutes, motor-gliders, and
gyroplanes.
In addition, LSA industry leaders display the latest in
sport aviation technology including new aircraft and electronics.
The Expo also provides educational forums, such as training
programs and insurance seminars, specifically geared towards
aviation’s Sport Pilot.
For many, the LSA market provides an affordable opportunity to
engage in the aviation community at prices far less expensive than
with general aviation; many LSA pilots and aircraft owners who
might have otherwise been unable to participate in the aviation
community can enjoy flying at new and exciting levels. At the Sport
Aviation Expo, newcomers to the industry can learn more about LSA,
compare available aircraft in the LSA market, get demonstration
rides, and receive guidance on financing, insurance, and
training.
Each year, the Sport Aviation Expo continues to be one of the
largest events in the LSA community. Aero-TV took the time to speak
with attendees to gather their perspectives on light sport
aviation. In the first part of the three-part series, we asked LSA
enthusiasts what they believe are the greatest obstacles to getting
involved in the light sport market.
