How long do I have to get my sport pilot certificate using only my ultralight experience?
For ultralight pilots, the first really important date is January 31, 2007. That is the deadline date for those who are members of an FAA-recognized ultralight organization to take advantage of using whatever ultralight flying time they have to qualify to become a sport pilot. The pilot has until this date to take the sport pilot practical test if the pilot wants previous ultralight flight time to count toward the required sport pilot flight experience.
