UltraFlight Radio can now be found live on Tuesday mornings right here on the web at www.ultraflightradio.com at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time and 7:00am Pacific Time. But you don't have to hear it live to hear it.

You can also hear (previous shows) at the show archive. We make it convenient for you.

Tim McCord, Performance Designs

Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation Services

Dan Johnson, ByDanJohnson.com
Someone has noticed a disconnect in the new sport pilot rules. Why is it that people that complete training to become Sport Pilots while the aircraft are designated as Light Sport Aircraft? A discussion is developing over why the word "Light" is used to describe the aircraft and whether or not it should be dropped. Dan Johnson gives us the details. ByDanJohnson.com (3/13/07)
