    There is no such animal as a "well trained" ultralight pilot, PART 103 doesn't spell out any training requirements for UL pilots.

    If 103 doesn't allow an ultralight access to a particular type of airspace it doesn't matter what type of training the pilot possesses, the ultralight is not be operated in that airspace.
