Light Sport Aircraft License

Unlike the heavier aircraft licenses, a light sport aircraft license restricts pilots to just light sport aircraft. This is deliberately designed to make it easier for casual pilots to be able to fly, but still be out of the way of higher airspace classes. Someone piloting a light aircraft with a light sport aircraft license is not allowed to be in an airspace class that requires radio communication, which is another way in which it saves the casual sport pilot from having to getting additional certification with an aircraft radio license. One good thing about getting a light sport aircraft license is that it gives a pilot the opportunity to gain some valuable practice and flight experience without having to opt for the private license. Most people do not have the time and money to devote to something as rigorous as flight school for a private license, so whenever it is possible to give people an easier way, they can decide for themselves if they are interested in pursuing further aircraft certification beyond the light sport aircraft license. This is especially true considering the fact that light sport aircraft licensees do not have eligibility for further ratings like instrument ratings, but must work toward a higher certification before these options become available.
