Sporty’s Releases Updated Sport Pilot Course

Sporty’s popular Learn to Fly Course now features an updated and expanded Sport Pilot training module, ideal for student pilots training in Light Sport Aircraft (LSAs). In addition to new video segments and updated test questions, the course also includes interactive flashcards for checkride prep and a complete FAA library.

Nearly a dozen video segments have been added to address important topics, including: modern weather resources, normal and special-use airspace, how to use ForeFlight for airspace and weather planning, tips for flying with glass cockpit flight instruments, how to plan a cross country with a nav log, and how to use ADS-B transponders and datalink weather.

To accompany the new video training, Sporty’s Sport Pilot Course also includes the latest test prep questions and answers, so pilots will be ready to ace the FAA knowledge test. The course even offers an automatic test endorsement from Sporty’s flight instructors.

All-new checkride prep flashcards go beyond the textbook to help pilots master topics that are frequently encountered during the oral exam, like systems and regulations. Questions are presented without answers; after answering silently, pilots can virtually flip the card to reveal the correct answer. There are also links for additional information, supplemented by a comprehensive FAA Handbook Library.

Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course is available for $279 and includes free lifetime updates. Like all Sporty’s courses, it works on a wide variety of devices, including online, iOS devices, Android devices, smart TVs, and even Apple CarPlay. Access to all platforms is included, and progress automatically syncs between devices. A free demo of the course is available at sportys.com/discover.

It was his first airplane trip at age seven that made Eric decide to become a pilot. "While boarding the airplane, a flight attendant noticed my interest in the flight deck and urged me to go talk to the pilot. I give a lot of credit to that pilot for my career choice." He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and went on to an airline career. Eric now serves as Chief Instructor at Sporty's Academy and directs the University of Cincinnati’s Professional Pilot Training Program. In addition, Eric serves as a Captain in a Cincinnati-based corporate flight department.
