Ultralight Flying Rules

Does sport pilot license allow you to fly internationally?

When licensed to fly internationally can you fly an ultralight? I ask because the rules defining an ultralight very from nation to nation. It seems like if you are licensed for a larger plane then anything smaller would be ok also, but not sure. Alternately, could you license an ultralight as a sport plane or regular plane. The idea is ultralights are CHEAP.

you do not need a certificate (license) to operate a ultralight.

Question to pilots.....................?

OK this is something i know absolutely nothing about so please excuse my ignorance... (in the UK if that helps but all answers welcome)

1.What are the basic rules and regulations microlights and ultralights have to adhere to and do the aviation authorities monitor the air space for ultralights/microlights or could you go pretty much undetected. Do they have a way of knowing whether someone is flying without a license. I mean in the same way police forces can check vehicles to see who isn't insured etc...assuming you had someone where other than an airfield to fly from that is...

need more info hit me...

like i said i know absolutely nothing about this so help me out, thanks

There are two questions here: 1) what regulations govern the operation of ultralights; and, 2) how are the skies monitored?

1. In the U.S., ultralight operation does not require an aviation license or certificate. See:

http://faa.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/faa.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=283&p_created=1101317166&p_sid=FVyFwqIj&p_accessibility=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0mcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1

Ultralights are defined as a vehicle that:

(a) Is used or intended to be used for manned operation in the air by a single occupant;

(b) Is used or intended to be used for recreation or sport purposes only;

(c) Does not have any U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate; and

(d) If unpowered, weighs less than 155 pounds; or

(e) If powered:

(1) Weighs less than 254 pounds empty weight, excluding floats and safety devices which are intended for deployment in a potentially catastrophic situation;

(2) Has a fuel capacity not exceeding 5 U.S. gallons;

(3) Is not capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight; and

(4) Has a power-off stall speed which does not exceed 24 knots calibrated airspeed.

Assuming your aircraft meets these guidelines, then:

(a) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to certification of aircraft or their parts or equipment, ultralight vehicles and their component parts and equipment are NOT required to meet the airworthiness certification standards specified for aircraft or to have certificates of airworthiness.

(b) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to airman certification, operators of ultralight vehicles are NOT required to meet any aeronautical knowledge, age, or experience requirements to operate those vehicles or to have airman or medical certificates.

(c) Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to registration and marking of aircraft, ultralight vehicles are NOT required to be registered or to bear markings of any type.

2. Air traffic surveillance is an altogether different subject, but it has an important relationship to your question. Safe operation of any airborne vehicle requires some basic understanding of airspace management - most particularly, the types and locations of airspace in the vicinity of operation. For example, you could build a kit ultralight, fill it with gas, and start "aviatin' right from the git go." However, if there's a MOA (Military Operations Area) in you flight path, you may find yourself wishing you knew that before you splattered across the windscreen of a Harrier practicing low-level ingress at 500 knots.

Which illustrates a subsidiary point: Just because you're in the air doesn't mean that ground stations will have you on radar, and it has to do with more than your radar cross section. Even if you were detected on radar, ground controllers (especially in high traffic areas) may not be able to determine your altitude, and in any event will at some level expect that you understand the basic rules of navigation under VFR conditions (Visual Flight Rules) - which are, basically, see and avoid.

As to insurance: you need it. Even if you were assiduously observant of every basic and advanced flight rule and regulation, you'll still need coverage in the unfortunate event your meticulous flight plan suddenly goes sideways because of a bird-strike over a hospital or a schoolyard full of children.

Can't speak to the conditions in the U.K., but I hope this helps. Cherrio.
