Why can't I register as an ultralight pilot without having had an instuctor.
Back when I bought my Pterodactyl ultralight, there were no instructors or two place ultralights. Probably stupid, but I read about flying and then took off. Second scariest thing I ever did. Still have the Dac. Looking for a new engine for it. The Cuyuna's getting old.
Training requirements block registration?

However, it is unfortunate that this training program is blocking the registration of existing pilots. The registration program itself makes a contribution to self regulation by telling us how many pilots we are dealing with, but it won't be very good for that if pilots already flying, such as myself, are excluded. Perhaps there should be an allowance for experienced pilots to register without ten hours of instruction from a CFI.
