What license do I need for experimental aircraft?
Sport pilot licenses are useful for aircraft hobbyists, experimental aircraft kit makers, and others who consider flying a personal as opposed to professional endeavor. Getting your sport pilot certificate is simpler, faster, and less expensive than a private certificate, and is perfect for someone who wants to fly smaller, lighter aircraft on their own or with one other person. No medical exam is required, and the minimum training time is half of what’s required for the private.
