Receive A License In Only 20 Hours! The sport pilot rating was introduced by the FAA in 2004 with the purpose of providing a method to license pilots who wish to fly solely for pleasure.
Sport pilots are eligible to receive a license to fly in only 20 hours
Sport pilots do NOT require a medical certificate that is required by private and commercial pilots (A valid driver's license is required in place of a medical).
Time spent training for a sport pilot license can be applied towards future ratings as well!
This license allows a pilot to fly with most of the privileges of a private pilot, but has certain restrictions, mainly no night flying.
Aircraft that are being flown under sport pilot rules must meet the Light Sport Aircraft criteria. All Magni Gyroplanes meet the qualifications of Light Sport Aircraft.
