The instructor told me that you don't need a certificate (License) to fly an Ultralight by yourself. However, if you want to get your Sports License so you can fly with a passenger you have to do about 15 hours of flying with an instructor and 5 hours solo. You are probably looking at 35 to 40 hours with flight and ground school. The instructor that I used is pretty expensive at $140 an hour but he is an awesome instructor and has been flying Ultralights since 1979. He learned to fly in the military. I just did an introductory flight with him but it gave me 1 hour towards my 15 hours.
