The FAA has proposed establishing a sport pilot certificate and a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating. The FAA also has proposed establishing requirements for student pilots and private pilots to operate these aircraft, and revising the recreational pilot certificate to align it with privileges certificate with ratings for individuals who would inspect and maintain light-sport aircraft. In addition, the FAA has proposed a new category of special airworthiness certificate for light-sport aircraft that meet a consensus standard.
