A pilot module for a lightweight aircraft having a fuselage primary structure that includes a longitudinally disposed support structure, or boom and also having a wing structure attached to the fuselage primary structure, a tail structure attached aft of the wing structure to the fuselage primary structure, and a propeller assembly attached to the fuselage primary structure. The pilot module includes a pilot support shell constructed of a composite material formed to support the seat, legs, and back of a pilot positioned on it and forming an integral part of the fuselage primary structure. The pilot support shell is positioned at least partially forward of the forward end of the boom. At least one reinforcing member is connected to the pilot support shell and to the boom and is constructed in a single piece with the support shell. The reinforcing member also forms an integral part of the fuselage primary structure. An external fairing is positioned behind and attached to the pilot support shell.
