Forum   Topics   Posts   Last Post  Takeoff!   The new Sport Pilot rule makes flying affordable! On September 1, 2004 the FAA inaugurated a new pilot certificate dubbed the "sport pilot" that makes learning to fly easier and more affordable that ever. Intended primarily for recreational use, you can now become a pilot with as little as 20 hours of flight instruction! In addition, the FAA also created a new category of affordable "light-sport aircraft"!     2 3 Sat Jan 30, 2010 7:40 pm Paul Hamilton Introduce Yourself! Pilot? Student pilot? Future pilot?

At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).     202 1857 Tue Mar 09, 2010 7:21 pm scottj Training Sport aviation is growing rapidly. But the new sport pilot / light-sport aircraft rules are still a mystery to many flight schools and instructors. To locate a flight school offering sport pilot training and/or light-sport aircraft rentals, click on the "Flight School And Rental Finder" tab above. This is a great place to share ideas on learning to fly, flight schools, costs and anything else related to training.     99 677 Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:23 pm N918KT Instructors' Corner Finally, a place for sport pilot instructors and/or wannabees to talk about instructing.     10 52 Tue Mar 02, 2010 10:14 am bryancobb Ask The Examiner Paul Hamilton is one of the first persons to become a DPE (Designated Pilot Examiner) for sport pilots.

SportPilotTalk.com is the discussion forum for sport pilots and light-sport aircraft.  The FAA's new rule, in effect since September 2004, created a new pilot certificate dubbed the "sport pilot" that makes learning to fly easier and more affordable that ever before.  The new rule also created a new category of aircraft - light sport aircraft - which has introduced a new fleet of modern, affordable sport aircraft.  Now, learning to fly is no more expensive than a small motorcycle, boat or pop-up camper!
