Pilot Permit - Ultralight Aeroplanes
Ultralight flying is grassroots aviation at its best. The Pilot Permit for Ultralight Aeroplanes is one of the easiest, lowest cost and most fun licenses to obtain. Ultralight aircraft have become safe and sophisticated to the point of offering pleasure pilots all the low-risk adventure their imaginations can conjure. Equipped with wheels, floats or skis, ultralight aircraft offer pilots the best freedoms in flying.

Ultralight student pilots must be at least 14-years-old to fly solo and need to meet certain self-declared medical standards. A minimum of 10 hours of flying training is required on ultralights, including at least two hours solo and 30 takeoffs and landings (10 solo). An approved ground school course is required. There is a written examination and a flight test. Final permit applicants must be at least 16-years-old.

The Ultralight Permit is valid in Canada only, for day flying, in good weather, without passengers. These requirements are reduced if the applicant has held a Private Pilot License - Airplane within the preceding five years.
