cated within, Class B, C, and D air-
space, or at airports with an oper-
ational control tower in other air-
space.

(a) A student pilot seeking a sport

pilot certificate or a recreational pilot
certificate who wants to obtain privi-
leges to operate in Class B, C, and D
airspace, at an airport located in Class
B, C, or D airspace, and to, from,
through, or at an airport having an
operational control tower, must re-
ceive and log ground and flight train-
ing from an authorized instructor in
the following aeronautical knowledge
areas and areas of operation:

(1) The use of radios, communica-

tions, navigation systems and facili-
ties, and radar services.

(2) Operations at airports with an op-

erating control tower, to include three
takeoffs and landings to a full stop,
with each landing involving a flight in
the traffic pattern, at an airport with
an operating control tower.

(3) Applicable flight rules of part 91

of this chapter for operations in Class
B, C, and D airspace and air traffic con-
trol clearances.

(4) Ground and flight training for the

specific Class B, C, or D airspace for
which the solo flight is authorized, if
applicable, within the 90-day period
preceding the date of the flight in that
airspace. The flight training must be
received in the specific airspace area
for which solo flight is authorized.

(5) Ground and flight training for the

specific airport located in Class B, C, or
D airspace for which the solo flight is
authorized, if applicable, within the 90-
day period preceding the date of the
flight at that airport. The flight and
ground training must be received at
