Light Sport Pilot License Training
Our Light Sport Pilot program is designed for those who want to experience the freedom of flight with fewer requirements than a traditional private pilot license. A Light Sport Pilot Certificate allows you to fly simple, lightweight aircraft with a maximum of one passenger, during daylight hours, in good weather, without the need for an FAA medical certificate (a valid U.S. driver’s license typically suffices).
