What is the Passenger-Carrying Endorsement for the Ultralight Pilot Permit?
The new Passenger-Carrying Endorsement effective December 1, 2005 allows an Ultralight Pilot Permit holder to carry non-pilot passengers in Advanced ultralights. (Only ultralights actually registered in the Advanced category – not those registered in the Basic category.) The endorsement requires additional flight and ground training and 25 hours total time. This eliminates the need for a Recreational Permit to carry passengers.
