Flying a LSA internationally

Post by colored-blind »

If I have my Sport Pilot License (Certificate) and own a LSA can I fly it internationally? What are the rules that govern this since it is not a full PPL and most countries do not have a Sport Pilot License.

Also how is this done do I have to land it at a International Airport to go throught customs and immigration?

At this point you simply can't. I can see some kind of reciprocal; agreement being reached with Canada in the future, but right now it's US only.

I ask as I am coloredblind so it doesn't make much sense to get my PPL since I can't fly at night anyways. If I can't fly internationally with a Sport Pilots License then I miswell get the PPL. This points me in the right direction.
