Privileges beyond the sport pilot
- Fly at night
- Fly above 10,000 feet
- Fly as incidental to business rather than sport pilot limitations of no in furtherance of a business.
- Fly into all Class B airports, the biggest and busiest of the 10 airports in the USA, rather than be restricted to the smaller Class B airports.
