USUA Submits Petition to FAA

In an effort to augment the Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft transitioning process, USUA has filed a petition with FAA that would extend the time limits detailed in that rule.

If accepted by FAA, this would extend the deadlines for transitioning ultralight pilots, instructors and the vehicles ("Fat Ultralights," and existing trainers) an additional two years. Also, the USUA petition includes a request to extend the training exemptions that allows the use of two seaters for training purposes, for an additional two years as well.

It is important to note that by this action, USUA is proposing a means by which the Sport Pilot program could meet or exceed it's projected goals. For USUA members (as well as all ultralighters nationwide), wishing to transition into Light Sport Aircraft, this could provide ample time for all of the pieces of Sport Pilot to fall into place.
