Sport Pilot vs Private Pilot: which certificate should you start with?

A Sport Pilot certificate takes a minimum of 20 hours and uses your driver’s license in place of an FAA medical; a Private Pilot certificate takes a minimum of 40 hours, needs a third-class medical, and lets you fly any airplane you are rated in. At Pilot Training Las Vegas you can earn either in the same Piper Cherokees.
