My question is related to the the category of "Sports Pilot" required by the FAA in order to be a PIC. Does it have to be "airplane" or can it be any of the other sports pilot categories listed below?
Thanks!!! Alex
For example, Here at the categories and number of training hours required for each. For the purposes of 333 exemption PIC, wouldn't it make more sense (financially) to get the lighter-than-air license? Is it still applicable? I don't need to fly an airplane, just my solo (eventually commercially).
Airplane:
- 20 hours
Powered Parachute:
-12 hours
Weight-Shift-Control (Trikes):
- 20 hours
Glider:
- 10 hours
Rotorcraft (gyroplane only):
- 20 hours
Lighter-Than-Air, Airship:
- 20 hours
Lighter-Than-Air, Balloon:
- 7 hours
