What is a “sport pilot certificate?
A sport pilot certificate takes even less time to obtain than a recreational pilot’s certificate, though of course it carries even more restrictions. It can be earned in as little as 20 hours, and you do not necessarily need a medical certificate to get it, provided you have a valid driver’s license. As with recreational pilots, all time logged as a sport pilot can be applied toward higher ratings. For more information, see “Becoming a Sport Pilot.
