If the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot rating, it can be flown at night. Also, if the airplane light-sport aircraft is properly equipped, and the pilot has a private pilot instrument rating, it can be flown in IFR conditions by instruments.
A Private Pilot must dedicate at least 40 hours of flight training and pass a medical exam to get his license. By contrast, a Sport Pilot License requires a mere 20 hours of training and does not require any specific medical exam if you hold a valid driverâs license. Of those 20 hours, only a minimum of 15 are with an instructor. The remaining 5 hours are flown solo.
