Stepping Up to Light Sport "Accident data have shown that there is as much risk in 'moving down' in performance as 'moving up'. For example, consider a pilot who has substantial experience in high performance corporate, airline, or military airplanes. The knowledge and skills used to safely fly at high speed, high altitudes, and over long flights will, by themselves, not prepare the pilot for the challenges of a lowinertia, high-drag airplane.
