Sport Pilot Rule - Score 100%
You got 10 out of 10, for a score of 100%
Register to win
1. Sport pilots are required have a ___ -class medical.
First
Second
Third
None of the above?
Sport pilots may use a valid state driver's license to meet the medical requirements of their certificate (FAR ). However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you applied for a medical certificate, you must have been found eligible for at least a third-class medical at the time of your most recent medical application. Furthermore, your most recently issued medical certificate (if you held one) may not have been suspended or revoked. Additionally, sport pilots are able to fly with a current or expired special issuance medical that has not been withdrawn by the FAA. Just like all other pilots, sport pilots must self-certify that they have no known medical condition (or have reason to know about a medical condition) that makes them unable to safely exercise sport pilot privileges--even if using a driver's license to meet the medical requirement. For more information, read AOPA's Member Guide to Being Sport Pilot Ready.
2. You must log at least ___ hours of flight time before applying for a Sport Pilot certificate in the airplane category.
20?
Per FAR , in order to be recommended for a checkride to obtain a sport pilot certificate with airplane category and single-engine land privileges, the applicant must have logged at least 20 hours of flight time, including 15 hours of flight training from an authorized instructor in a single-engine airplane and 5 hours of solo flight training in the areas of operation listed in FAR 30 40
3. Sport pilots may not carry passengers.
True
False?
Sport pilots may carry one passenger, provided it is not for compensation or hire. According to FAR , the privileges and limitations of a sport pilot certificate do not allow sport pilots to operate as PIC of a light-sport aircraft "while carrying more than one passenger."
4. Sport pilot certificates are not issued with aircraft category and class ratings.
True?
Sport pilot certificates are not issued with aircraft category and class ratings FAR ). Instead, pilots are given a logbook endorsement for the category, class, and make and model of the light sport aircraft. To operate a different make and model of light sport aircraft in the same category and class, pilots must receive and log ground and flight training and obtain an endorsement from an authorized instructor (FAR ). For more information, see FAR and FAR
False
5. In order to be considered a light sport aircraft (LSA), it must be limited to:
Maximum speed in level flight of 120 knots
Maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds
No more than one seat
A and B only?
According to FAR Part 1, the criteria for a light sport aircraft (LSA) include:
1. Maximum speed in level flight of 120 knots.
2. Maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds (for operations on land).
3. No more than two seats.
4. One reciprocating engine.
5. Fixed-pitch (or ground adjustable) propeller.
6. Fixed landing gear (for operations on land).
7. Maximum stall speed of no more than 45 knots CAS.
Source: AOPA Online Frequently Asked Questions About Sport Pilot.
Piper Cubs, Ercoupes and Aeronca Champs are just some examples of the standard category of light sport aircraft (LSA) available. A list of light sport aircraft (LSA) is available on AOPA Online.
All of the above
6. Sport pilots are required to have a flight review (formerly known as a biennial flight review, or BFR).
Sport pilots must have a flight review in accordance with FAR However, if you hold a recreational pilot certificate or higher, it is not required to be conducted in a light sport aircraft (LSA). The flight review may be performed in any aircraft for which the pilot is rated (category and class). If the pilot does not have a medical, and the flight review is not completed in a light sport aircraft (LSA), the instructor conducting the flight review must be acting as PIC.
7. A sport pilot may fly within Class D airspace without an endorsement.
A sport pilot may not act as PIC of a light sport aircraft in Class B, C, or D airspace without receiving and logging ground and flight training and obtaining a logbook endorsement that certifies proficiency in the specific areas of operation provided in FAR
Additionally, a sport pilot is not authorized to act as PIC in Class A airspace at any time. Private, commercial, ATP pilots, and recreational pilots who already have the appropriate endorsements do not need additional training and endorsements for operating in Class B, C, or D airspace while exercising sport pilot privileges.
8. A sport pilot may not operate as PIC when flight or ground visibility is less than __ statute mile(s).
one
two
three?
A sport pilot may not operate as PIC of a light sport aircraft when flight or ground visibility is less than three statute miles (sm), or without visual reference to the surface (FAR ).
9. A private pilot who is interested in flying as a sport pilot needs to complete the training requirements for a sport pilot certificate.
A recreational pilot (with appropriate endorsements), private, commercial, or airline transport pilot already holds "higher" privileges than a sport pilot. Thus, no additional pilot training and certification is required. This is similar to a commercial pilot being able to exercise private pilot privileges without the need to have a private pilot certificate. Additionally, these pilots are exempt from certain sport pilot limitations, such as the need for class B, C, and D airspace training and endorsements, and the limitation to fly only in the United States. For a complete list of limitations, see AOPA's Sport Pilot for Certificate Pilots: Frequently Asked Questions.
Furthermore, a student pilot's training is not restrictive to the type of certificate he or she is pursuing and the training can be transferred towards a different set of certificate requirements. For example, someone working towards a private pilot certificate could apply that training towards sport pilot requirements. Just remember, according to FAR 61.89(c), a student pilot seeking a sport pilot certificate may not act as PIC (solo) in an aircraft other than a light sport aircraft (LSA).
10. A flight instructor who does not hold a sport pilot rating may give the instruction required to obtain a sport pilot certificate.
A current CFI without a sport pilot rating may train sport pilot candidates within the category and class listed on the instructor's certificate (FAR ). The CFI just needs to have at least 5 hours of flight time experience in a make and model of light sport aircraft within the same "set" of aircraft as the one in which they are providing training. Note: A set of aircraft share similar performance characteristics, such as airspeed and altitude operating envelopes and similar handling characteristics.
