sport pilot

I went after my CFI-S (CFI Sport Pilot) rating this past spring but ran into some issues with the school and their planes. I have my two written tests completed (CFI-S and FOI) but need to complete the training, schedule, and take the practical. It's been hard finding schools with Light Sport...

I'm interested in pursuing a Sport Pilot Certificate near Lincoln, Nebraska, but can't seem to find anywhere within an hour+ drive that instructs with, or even rents, light sport aircraft. Does anyone have any leads? Previous posts (from years ago) point to either businesses that no longer...

I'm finally making it to Airventure for the very first time(I'm not flying, just going) but my availability is limited so I can either do the first two days and the weekend before or the final two days(Saturday & Sunday). I'm gearing up to either build a Hummel H3, so I'm hoping to get in on a...

Hi all! Just getting started (hopefully) in aviation for recreation. I want to get a sport pilots license, and the person I talked to said I weigh a little too much to train on an SLA with an instructor onboard as well, but said I could definitely just train on a larger plane provided I'd...

For the purpose of sport-pilot operations, I'm wondering how a teenager with ADHD and/or autism spectrum disorder, who now holds a drivers license, could determine whether he meets the requirement of 14 CFR 61.23(c)(2)(iv) to "Not know or have reason to know of any medical condition that would...

I just switched over to sport pilot training after doing 13 hours toward my PPL. After a lot of thought (and going back and forth on my decision 50 times), I decided this is the best choice for me if I want to fly at all. I don't want to get into details, but I have a very low chance of getting...

Hello - I am a new member and thought I would just jump in and say Hi. I am a student at the moment on the sport pilot track, I am training at 10C, at least for now. My wife and I just bought a house in Arizona so I will be moving to either AVQ or RYN, depending on the school. One other...

Please understand I am trying to make a constructive suggestion so please consider this. I feel it would make a significant improvement to this forum. I see you have "Home Builders and Sport Pilot". These are unrelated. Most Sport Pilots are not home builders and most home builders are not...

I did around 20 hours PPL training before 9/11-twin towers event, which closed the cheap flight school I was using, and maybe a couple of hours a few times in the following years on a 3d class ticket. However, I have kept up with learning, etc., via reading and flight simulator. Would hours...

Hello, I am a new member, looking to getting SP license, the reason I chose it was mainly because it does not require medical and of my concern about the possibility of failing a medical check which may cost me both Sport and potential future Private pilot license, Since I am new to this, I have...

I'm about to finish up my commercial license and will be off for summer break in a couple of months. (Still in college :)) Once I finish my commercial I could get my normal CFI, but it may be easier to just get my Sport CFI so I can instruct back home for the summer. Should I go ahead and get...
