I'm not sure if you're aware of this, Bob, but neither the Sport Pilot certificate nor the Light Sport Aircraft airworthiness certificate meet International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements for international flights. As I understand it, each trip requires a case-by-case approval from the other government's agency for aviation.

Thanks Moe for filling me in on the requirements for international flights.

Here's the Experimental/Amateur-Built authorization I assume is still in effect.
I agree that due to the importance of tourism, the Bahamas will probably allow LSA and/or SP without individual authorization long before Canada or Mexico will. I've just not seen anything official regarding it and wouldn't make the case it's allowed without such.

12. Crew members shall be the holders of valid pilot licenses issued or endorsed by the State
and which are appropriate to their duties;
item 12 seems to permit a sport pilot certificate.
a friend has recently returned from the bahamas in his SLSA. he said it was easy and he was quite welcome. he did not have a ppl at that time. come to think of it his passenger is a ppl so maybe they relied on the passenger to be pic?
i have heard of LSA being flown in mexico but they were trailored accross the border. i assume these mostly sport pilots.
seems canadian micro lights are welcome here. the europeans cross borders frequently and the uk and eu standards differ.
it is currently messy and confusing
