Ultralight flying offers one of the quickest and purest ways to experience the joys of aviation. Whether you're into powered parachutes, trikes, traditional fixed wings, or even amphibians and rotorcraft, ultralights offer loads of fun and excitement. And the best part? They're usually quite affordable and don’t require a license to fly. Unlike standard aircraft, ultralight aircraft are not subject to stringent FAA regulations, making them the least regulated and simplest to operate without a license. Back in 1982, the FAA introduced something called Part 103. It's a simple set of rules that applies to ultralight vehicles. With Part 103, you don't need to bother with FAA registration, any sort of pilot certificate, or even an aviation medical and you can either buy one that's ready to fly or build it yourself using kits as long as you follow the AC1037 guidelines. However, to qualify for Part 103, the aircraft must be a singleseater weighing less than 254 pounds and used solely for recreational or sports flying. Surprisingly, some aircraft weigh more than 254 pounds but are still considered ultralights.
