The plane will continue to be a "Utility" category aircraft but
qualifies to be flown by a "Sport" pilot. This is different than the
new "Sport" category of aircraft which are basically Ultralights.

If you can call something that weighs 750 lbs empty and over 1300 lbs full
an ultralight I guess you'd be right.
