Thinking of doing some ultralight training
Maybe someone here can save me some time. I instructed about 7 yrs ago, my IR lapsed about 5 years ago and I have some people asking me to do some training for the ultra light permit. anyone know the requirements or is it the full instructor requirements same as PPL and CPL training?

You'll need an ultralight instructor rating:Maxxed out wrote:Maybe someone here can save me some time.

As far as I can tell, you will just need to have 25 hours flight time in an ultralight and take the ULTRA written test and have a class 3 medical.
You might also want to talk to someone who is already doing ultralight training, such as Wayne Winters @ Blue Yonder (http://www.ezflyer.com).
