Title: Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft; Modifications 
Abstract: This rule would amend the rules for sport pilots and flight instructors with a sport pilot rating. The FAA believes these changes are necessary to address airman certification issues that have arisen since regulations for the operation of light-sport aircraft were implemented. These changes would align the certification requirements for sport pilots and flight instructors with a sport pilot rating with those requirements currently applicable to other airmen certificates.
