What separates a homebuilt from an ultralight?
Ultralights and Experimentals may both be built by the owner, but the ultralight may carry no passengers (except for instruction). It also has limits on weight, speed, and fuel, which the homebuilt has none of (outside of operating restrictions in part 91). Often, licensed ultralight owners have chosen to obtain airworthiness certificates so that they can overcome one or more of these restrictions. This reclassifies the ultralight as an experimental, and the pilot certificate, medical, and currency requirements become effective. ———————————- Subject: Homebuilt .vs.
