Sport Pilot: an individual who is authorized to fly only Light-sport Aircraft
Recreational Pilot: an individual who may fly aircraft of up to 180 horsepower and 4 seats in the daytime for pleasure only
Private Pilot: an individual who may fly for pleasure or personal business, generally without accepting compensation
Commercial Pilot: an individual who may, with some restrictions, fly for compensation or hire
Airline Transport Pilot (often called ATP): an individual authorized to act as pilot in command for a scheduled airline
