Sport Pilot Qualifications
A sport pilot applicant must:
§ Be a minimum of 16 years of age to become a student sport pilot (14 for glider)
§ Be 17 years of age before testing for a sport pilot certificate (16 for gliders).
§ Be able to read, write, and understand the English language.
§ Hold either a valid airman’s medical or a valid U.S. driver’s license as evidence of medical eligibility (provided you do not have an official denial or revocation of medical eligibility on file with FAA).
Sport Pilot Training
The FAA Sport Pilot Rule was adopted in September of 2004. The FAA and our professional organizations have worked to develop FAA flight examiners, instructors and inspectors. The good news for most is that you will be able to earn your Sport Pilot Certificate in about twelve hours of instruction! This certificate offers you the privilege of carrying a Passenger.
The sport pilot certificate is a relatively new pilot certification category created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specifically to address the desire of individuals wishing to fly aircraft primarily for recreational purposes. A sport pilot may only operate an aircraft during daylight hours (civil twilight).
Our network of Flight Centers, representatives and instructor associates are available to provide you with the professional flight training required. Here is the informational link to the EAA Sport Pilot information center http://www.sportpilot.org/ And here is the official FAA Sport Pilot Index http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/sportpilot/index.cfm
The requirements to earn a pilot certificate in this category are aimed at teaching the core knowledge that individuals must understand and demonstrate in order to safely operate in the airspace system. By passing a knowledge (written) and practical (flight) test, a prospective sport pilot will demonstrate the proficiency necessary to operate a variety of aircraft safely.
