How does the Sport Pilot training differ from Private Pilot?
A. The total time required for a sport pilot rating is 20 hours vs 40 for the private. Of this time 15 hours must be dual and 5 must be solo. The cross-country criteria are far less for sport pilot (one flight of 75 miles total vs 5 hours and at least one flight of 150 miles). There is no night flight training for sport pilot.
