Can I be instructed in my own aircraft for the Sport Pilot certificate if it is registered as an experimental homebuilt? I am confused as to the 31 Jan 2010 statement that is out there. I believe the answer is yes but I want to make sure so I don't have any problems when it comes time to go and take the checkride.
I am taking flight instruction for the sports pilot certification in a Cessna 150. I have been told that, in order to be able to solo, my instruction has to be in an LSA. I cannot find this anywhere in the regs. Can I be trained in an non-LSA for my sport pilot certificate? Can you point out the regs that give the details on this?
