The differences in the more complex airplane requirement  scenarios presented in the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical  Knowledge versus WSC aircraft characteristics can easily  be compared. Overall, the advantage of an LSA is the  simpler design requiring less pilot attention than the complex  requirements of more complicated designs that add to the  pilot’s workload, such as: Overall, WSC aircraft are flown for fun and not for  transportation. Generally, it is determined that the pilot  will not fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)  without the assistance and training of the attitude indicator.  Pilots must make the decision to stay out of IMC conditions  and turn back immediately if the situation occurs. This is  what most pilots should do, but the information provided  by the attitude indicator allows pilots to start the “error  chain” that can lead to catastrophic consequences. The best  immediate decision is always to turn back and not go into  IMC conditions in a WSC aircraft. The unique characteristics on the WSC aircraft that increase  ADM tasks are: With an open flight deck, the problem of items getting loose  and hitting the propeller requires extra caution. Being in a  hurry, not making sure everything is secured, and forgetting  to brief the passenger can trigger one event that leads to  another. Exercising caution in the open flight deck is an  important step for WSC pilots.  If flying a WSC aircraft in turbulence, the pilot must have  both hands on the bar to maintain control of the aircraft.  Therefore, changing radio frequencies, measuring courses  on the map, or operating any of the flight deck controls  becomes difficult and secondary to maintaining control  of the aircraft. This is different from flying an airplane or  a powered parachute, which requires less physical effort  to maintain control of the aircraft and at least one hand is  available to tend to flight deck duties. It must be noted that the  •  Constant speed propellers • Multiple engines •  Retractable landing gears  • Faster airspeeds • Open flight deck where maps or other materials cannot  be opened, shown, and discussed with passenger. •  Pusher propeller in the back, through which any  loose item on the fl ight deck can be pulled, possibly  producing severe damage, depending on the size of  the object. •  More physical strength and endurance required to fl y  in turbulent conditions, which adds an additional risk  element.
