Sure you can. Go read the link, that's why I included it. You can't
give students their primary training in one, you have to be a CFI, you
have to be a member of EAA. You want to give students a multi engine
or seaplane rating? Not a problem. You want to transition them into
something like a Quicksilver, that flies much more on rudder than
ailerons? Not a problem.

Read this one:

Of course, if you're NOT a CFI and you want to train ab-initio
students, then sadly in 5 years you won't be able to.

Me, I think that's a small price to pay for 1) keeping the original
103 structure and 2) getting a whole new class of aircraft with
achievable certification requirements and 3) getting a new class of
pilot's privileges that you can self certify medicals for.

For the most part, private pilots think they already know how to fly
ultralights.

And for the most part, they have proven themselves wrong for over twenty
years.

A PPL isn't Gods gift to the world of flying, it is more paperwork than
flying. that's why they are called pilots not flyers !

Talk about someone being stuck on themselves, and you think your Gods gift
to flying.
I very definely disagree with your assessment of PPL, Do you really think I
spent 60 hours flying in airplanes just riding around doing nothing?
It's about time you got a life! I'm sure you think since your so heavy into
UL's that you can just hop in a plane and fly it also.
Mark your posting this to RAH (along with RAU) the majority of the people on
this board are pilots flying airplanes. How bout giving a little respect
instead of demeaning others because of your loss of business!
