This is pure.... well CRAP... As of last March the 2 control Ercoupe is listed by NAME as a aircraft you can not take your check ride in. I know this as I was working toward a restricted license when the change came. It was not a big problem since my instructor knew where I could get a Cessna 150 Aerobat.
I did everything in the Coupe (which I bought before I got my license.) then 2 hours in a 150 to get used to it... (I did have over 500 hours in a 150/172.... but that is another story) I met the guy for the check ride and bingo... license.... it only took 28 years... but hey I was busy. So please enough of the "in the day" stories, oh they have there place... but this guy needs some REAL information.... Sorry to go off but I almost didn't buy a coupe because of the inaccurate information that goes around -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, March 20, 1999 6:56 AM Subject: Becoming Licensed In an Ercoupe >I'm been reading with interest, for the last several days, the exchanges of >opinions and experiences with training and testing in a 2 control Ercoupe. >There is a fellow Couper and friend of mine, who logged all of his solo and >dual time, and took his private pilot check ride, in his 2 control coupe last >summer.
