Sporty’s Debuts Its 2025 Pilot Gift Guide: Great Ideas for Pilots in Training

Finding the right holiday gift for a pilot can be challenging—especially for those just starting their flying journey. To make things easier, Sporty’s has released its 2025 Pilot Gift Guide, a curated collection of gear, tools, and aviation-themed items that pilots actually use.

The guide organizes gift ideas by certificate level, including Student Pilot, Private Pilot, and Professional Pilot, along with a dedicated category for Aircraft Owners. Pilots who rely on technology will appreciate sections just for iPad Pilots and Tech Pilots, and shoppers can filter by price point to keep their list on budget.

For training-focused aviators, the guide highlights essentials like flight bags, headsets (with a complete Headset Buyer’s Guide), kneeboards, and online courses. You’ll also find apparel, books, and aviation décor for the enthusiast in your life.

To make holiday shopping even simpler, Sporty’s in-house team selected its 2025 Top Pilot Picks, showcasing standout gear for pilots at every stage. And if you still can’t decide, Sporty’s gift cards are available in any amount, with gift wrapping offered on most items.

Browse the full Sporty’s 2025 Pilot Gift Guide and make this holiday season a little easier for the pilot or future pilot in your life.
