P-Mentor, the all-in-one trainer

The gear handle is a great idea!

[@kristensorensen2219]

I disagree! Fake is never acceptable. Plus the commercial license has a high performance time requirement. ERAU 80 CFIA&I ret.

[@SZD06564]

It’s crazy how outdated people are with the regs saying you need high performance or complex hours to get your commercial. This looks like a great plane to train from Private through Commercial single and the simulated landing gear will be a great tool to get students an easier transition to multi commercial with a real retractable gear.

You don't need any of that to get rated however most places want it before giving you a job because generally that's the equipment they have

[@EdwardHefter]

Is this available as an LSA? I think the constant speed prop takes it out of the LSA category.

[@ajnadeau7378]

Technically the P2002 and P2002mk2 are around the same as this, but LSA

When mosaic becomes law, not sure I would want a two seater with 912 anymore. For the price of this plane, I am sure one could be had with four seats, bigger engine and faster speeds.

At Oshkosh, they are taking orders from flight schools by the bucket load

[@andreask9382]

This targets flight schools.

[@mauriceevans6546]

@andreask9382 there are tons of flight schools using sling 2, pipestrel alpha trainer, evektor, sport cruiser and other light sports for alot cheaper than 350,000. I got my sport in the pipistrel Alpha trainer. Not sure what schools they are aiming for. Lol

[@andreask9382]

@@mauriceevans6546 Did you get your IFR rating on them? Train for your commercial rating on them?

[@lcprivatepilot1969]

Should have done with dual yokes or dual side sticks … muscle memory.

[@kristensorensen2219]

#53👍😤Fake gear system!? Really? How rediculous!! The commercial license still requires time in a "real" high performance, retractable. Unless the FAA has gone soft🤷🤔🤣

[@mauriceevans6546]

No it does not! Flight schools are able to take a pilot all the way through commercial in a light sport aircraft.
