You don't need a license at all to fly ultralights.
I didn't know that that was possible in some countries. I assumed unlicensed aviation was currently limited to powered paragliders. Thanks.
o.O
I think you're also not allowed to fly them over inhabited areas, if that concerns you.
I was more surprised by the unusual lack of paternalism. In some countries at least, you're not allowed to ride a motorcycle without a helmet (though it's no more dangerous to others than riding it wearing a helmet), and flying a ultralight without much experience with it is, by my wild-ass guess, at least as dangerous to yourself as riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
I'm not so sure. Ultralights don't go very fast or very high. You could certainly kill yourself on one, but a car isn't going to hit you up in the sky.
