If the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot rating, it can be flown at night. Also, if the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot instrument rating, it can be flown in IFR conditions by instruments.
Any additional dual training hours can be accomplished by a sport pilot flight instructor (CFIS). In many cases, the additional dual training for the private pilot additional requirements may take 20 hours anyway. However, anyone wanting to go from sport to private should be aware of this and plan accordingly.
