Sport, Private, and Commercial Pilot Flight Training in Van Nuys
Safe and Afforable Flight Instruction
The Sport Pilot certificate was introduced in 2004 by the FAA to help rejuvenate general aviation and make it accessible to more people. The FAA cut the required amount of flight training necessary for this rating which drastically lowered the costs associated with becoming a pilot. Sport Pilots fly at the same standards as Private Pilots, but don’t require night training, and airspace privileges are provided via endorsements. Also, a Sport Pilot is not required to carry an FAA issued medical certificate; a valid US driver’s license will suffice in this case.
Since inception of General Aviation, the Private Pilot rating has been standard for new aviators to spread their wings and take to the skies. This certificate allows the holder to fly day or night under VFR conditions, (Visual Flight Rules), and without airspace restrictions.
In either case a well prepared student who studies and flies frequently can drastically reduce the amount of time, and therefore cost, associated with flight training.
If you're passionate enough to turn flying into a profession, we can help you with this endeavour too. A Commercial Pilot certificate is required to collect revenue, (commerce), and since the Sling 2 is classified a Technologically Advanced Aircraft (TAA), the rating can be acomplished in it.
