§ 61.417 Will my flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating list aircraft category and class ratings?

Official text · Current as of Oct 19, 2026 · from eCFR

Your flight instructor certificate does not list aircraft category and class ratings. When you successfully pass the practical test for a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating, regardless of the aircraft privileges you seek, the FAA will issue you a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating without any category and class ratings. The FAA will provide you with a logbook endorsement for the category and class of aircraft you are authorized to provide training in.
