Sporty’s 2018 Learn to Fly Course is the most thorough update yet to its award-winning complete pilot training system. With thousands of active students using its training products, Sporty’s fielded input from those pilots to incorporate enhancements to make it the best ever. A major change is that you don’t have to select which format to use. The Learn to Fly Course includes all three formats for the same price: online, for Apple TV, and for iPads/iPhones.

When your tires are this big, you really can land almost anywhere. In this wild video, join a group of friends in some unique backcountry airplanes as they go flying through Utah. They land on top of mountains, next to rivers, and even at a gas station. Your daily reminder that “aviation” includes a lot more than just an airliner from JFK to LAX.

Helicopter pilots talk about freedom a lot, especially the freedom to take off and land from almost anywhere. This video is a great example, as two pilots stop by a friend’s house on the way to a famous BBQ restaurant – in a helicopter. Watch their careful planning, the backyard landing, and then the arrival at the Salt Lick. So much more fun than driving.

The islands of the Bahamas offer some well-known flying adventures, but the Baja Peninsula in Mexico has its own charm too. Just a short flight from Southern California and Arizona, the hundreds of miles of coastline offer incredible views and diverse wildlife. There are dozens of airports, and the flying weather is often excellent. Fly along in this video as the pilot visits Loreto, San Felipe, and Ensenada.
When you think of precision flying you might think of aerobatics or bush flying, but instrument approaches require plenty of it too. In this short video, you’ll ride along in the right seat of an Airbus A320 as it makes a Category IIIB approach into Amsterdam. That means the visibility is less than 1/4 mile, and the autopilot is flying it all the way to the runway. Incredible technology that demands incredible training.
The Breezy may look odd to non-pilots, but for true aviation enthusiasts this unique open-cockpit airplane is the epitome of simple and fun flying. No avionics, no complicated systems; just stick and rudder, with the wind in your hair. In this video, meet Rob Unger, who rebuilt a Breezy to look just like the original one – which his father created many decades ago. Would you fly it?
