We regularly view Sporty’s (www.sportys.com) flight training videos and recently got word that they had updated their Sport Pilot training module in their $279 Learn to Fly Course, so we figured that we’d take a look.
To start with, the Learn to Fly Course is a video ground school that is designed to take a prospective pilot all the way through the FAA written exam (it includes practice exams) while serving as an adjunct to the flight instruction the student will receive as we’ll as giving a solid prep for the oral exam and flight test. The course offers the student the option of sharing progress with the student’s flight instructor. The course purchaser selects whether she wants training to become a sport pilot, recreational pilot or private pilot at the beginning and the course content for the appropriate pilot certificate is generated.
