Ultralight flying is grass roots flying at its best. The pilot permit for Ultralight aeroplanes is one of the easiest, lowest cost and most fun licences to obtain. Ultralight aircraft have become safe and sophisticated to the point of offering pleasure pilots all the adventure their imaginations can conjure. Equipped with wheels, floats or skiis ultralight aircraft offer the best freedoms in flying.

There is a written examination and a flight test. Final permit applicants must be 16 years old. The ultralight permit is valid in
Canada only for daytime flying in good weather, presently without passengers.
Legislation allowing passenger carrying in ultralights with an ultralight permit is now available. The new Passenger carrying rating will require additional training. Two ultralight pilots are allowed to fly together. Pilots who hold a licence with passenger carrying priviledges ( ie. recreational permit or private pilots licence.) may do so in an ultralight.
All ultralight times may be used as credit toward a recreational pilot permit (RPP) aeroplane, for general aviation flying.
