GroundRules
14 CFR 61.317: Is my sport pilot certificate issued with aircraft category and class ratings?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 14—Aeronautics and Space
- CHAPTER I—FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
- SUBCHAPTER D—AIRMEN
- PART 61—CERTIFICATION: PILOTS, FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS, AND GROUND INSTRUCTORS
- Subpart J—Sport Pilots
Your sport pilot certificate does not list aircraft category and class ratings. When you successfully pass the practical test for a sport pilot certificate, regardless of the aircraft privileges you seek, the FAA will issue you a sport pilot certificate without any category and class ratings. The FAA will provide you with a logbook endorsement for the category and class of aircraft in which you are authorized to act as pilot in command.
