Sporty’s Launches 2026 Learn to Fly Course with Advanced AI Tools and New Flight Maneuver Training

Sporty’s has released its all-new 2026 Learn to Fly Course, packed with major upgrades that make pilot training more immersive, efficient, and personalized than ever before. The latest edition introduces new 4K flight maneuver videos, a powerful aviation-specific AI study tool, and expanded resources for Sport Pilot training under the new MOSAIC rules.

Each year, Sporty’s updates its courses with new technology and content—always included free of charge for current users. The 2026 release continues that tradition, bringing together expert instruction, smart learning tools, and practical flying insights developed from decades of flight training experience.

New for 2026

4K Flight Maneuver Training
The 2026 edition features new high-definition video lessons covering key Private Pilot maneuvers, including steep turns, slow flight, power-on and power-off stalls, and accelerated stalls. The new Flight Instructor Focus segments put viewers in the cockpit with a CFI who demonstrates each maneuver step-by-step, highlights common errors, and shares practical tips for checkride success.

ChatCFI: Aviation Intelligence for Pilots
A highlight of the 2026 release is ChatCFI, a next-generation training assistant built on a vetted, aviation-specific AI engine—developed and tested by Sporty’s team of instructors. ChatCFI acts as a personal flight instructor within the course, ready to answer questions, explain complex topics, and generate custom study guides with links to specific videos, FAA resources, and the FAR/AIM.

FAA Test Prep Results Analysis
After completing the FAA knowledge test, students can upload a copy of their results to generate a custom ACS study guide. Each missed question is decoded by ACS code, revealing exactly which subjects need review and linking back to related lessons and FAA references.

Video Lesson Summaries
Every lesson now includes a concise summary of the main learning points—ideal for quick review before a flight lesson or FAA knowledge test.

Sport Pilot and MOSAIC Ready
Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course now includes both Private and Sport Pilot tracks. The all-new Sport track reflects the expanded privileges under the FAA’s MOSAIC rule, allowing Sport Pilots to train for and operate larger, more capable aircraft like a Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee.

Training Tools Pilots Already Know and Trust

The Learn to Fly Course continues to include all the features that make it a complete training system:

• Free Lifetime Updates – new videos, tools, and test prep updates added automatically each year.

• Interactive Scenarios and SmartNotes – real-world challenges with instant feedback and tools for organizing key takeaways.

• Cross-Platform Access – study anywhere on iPad, iPhone, Android, web, or smart TV, with progress synced automatically.

• Written Test Endorsement – pass two practice tests in the course to receive your instructor sign-off, valid for your FAA exam.
