  What Can a Sport Pilot Do?
  The sport pilot certificate makes the thrill, satisfaction, and excitement of aviation available to more people by reducing the complexity and cost. A sport pilot may fly aircraft meeting the Light Sport Criteria – Certified Aircraft with some of the most advanced avionics available. This includes planes such as Cessna 150, 152, 172, Piper Cherokee 140, 180, Tomahawk, Warrior & Archer and of course our 2002 AMD Alarus CH2000
  FAA regulations discuss sport pilot privileges and limitations in 14 CFR 61.315. Here is a summary:
  You may carry up to one passenger.
  You may equally share the operating expenses of a flight with your passenger. These expenses may only involve fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or airplane rental fees.
  Additional training is required to fly in certain busier types of controlled airspace.
  Class B, C, or D airspace requires additional training in order to operate in these areas.
  You can operate during Day and Night (with a medical certificate & additional training).
  You can fly up to 10,000 feet above sea level, or 2,000 feet above the ground, whichever is higher. Additionally, you must maintain visual reference with the surface. No flight in or above the clouds.
  You cannot be paid to fly passengers or property.
  As a sport pilot, you may not act as a pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire, nor may you be paid to act as a pilot in command. Additionally, you may not fly in furtherance of a business or for any employment reasons.
  If you intend to fly with more than one passenger, for business purposes, or to eventually pursue a career as a commercial pilot, then consider the private pilot certificate instead.
  Operations outside the U.S. require special permission.
  You may not fly outside the United States, unless you have prior authorization from the country in which you seek to operate. Your sport pilot certificate carries the limit “Holder does not meet ICAO requirements.” ICAO is the International Civil Aviation Organization.
