§ 61.317

Is my sport pilot certificate 

issued with aircraft category and 
class ratings? 

Your sport pilot certificate does not 

list aircraft category and class ratings. 
When you successfully pass the prac-
tical test for a sport pilot certificate, 
regardless of the light-sport aircraft 
privileges you seek, the FAA will issue 
you a sport pilot certificate without 
any category and class ratings. The 
FAA will provide you with a logbook 
endorsement for the category and class 
of aircraft in which you are authorized 
to act as pilot in command.
