An ultralight is a single seat vehicle that weighs less than 254 lbs, carries no more than 5 gallons of fuel and conforms to the other requirements of Part 103. No license is needed to fly an ultralight. A Light Sport Aircraft can have a take off weight of up to 1320 lbs, has no restrictions on fuel quantity, can take one passenger and requires a pilot certificate to fly.
