UltraFlight Radio can now be found live on Tuesday mornings right here on the web at www.ultraflightradio.com at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time and 7:00am Pacific Time. But you don't have to hear it live to hear it.

You can also hear (previous shows) at the show archive. We make it convenient for you.

Larry Clymer, FAA Light Sport Aviation Branch
On the eve of the first big sport pilot transition deadline, Larry Clymer joins us to talk about what happens if you're an ultralight pilot and you haven't yet made the transition to sport pilot. He talks about the continuing value of your letter from your ultralight organization and what really happens if an ultralight pilot doesn't obtain their sport pilot certificate on or before the January 31, 2007 cutoff date.
