WASHINGTON - New safe
ty rules for light airplanes will
soon take effect, a victory for
private aviation groups that have
long been encouraging them as a
way to lower the hurdles to Hy
ing entry-level aircraft.
Under the rules, an aviation
enthusiast will be able to obtain
a sport pilot license, with lower
training requirements than for
a private pilot’s license. The
Associated Press has learned.
A candidate will need 20
hours of training and a valid
driver’s license to qualify for
a sport pilot’s license. Private
pilots are required to have 40
hours of training and a medical
certificate from the government.
Experimental Aircraft
Association spokesman David
Berkley said the new rules will
make it cheaper and faster to get
a license to fly.
“It really does promote access to
the dream of flight,” Berkley said.
Federal Aviation
Administration spokesman Greg
Martin said the agency would
announce new flight standards
on Tuesday that will balance
two important objectives: “one,
to increase the safety of rec
reational flying, and two, to
introduce new enthusiasts to the
sport.” He declined to provide
further details.
