2005 -- Year-In-Review: Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft Year End Synopsis

[right_Rudder]

Well, here it is again -- years end. Only one year ago FAA had just issued a final rule establishing sport pilot, but had little of the infrastructure to get it working. There were virtually no instructors nor pilot examiners. There was no way to change fat-ultralights into light sport aircraft (for operation by sport pilots). There was not even an application form for new sport pilot applicants.
