I offer extensive flight training in a Challenger 2 with a Rotax 503 52hp. I can carry students who weigh up to 260lbs. I can also teach you in your sport plane. I charge by the hour or by a larger block of time which can save you money. I can only give you an estimate of how much a sport pilot license will cost because every student learns differently and the time it requires for each student will vary. It would cost an average of $2,200 for you to get a sport pilot license from us. That price would include tests, flight time, study guides; everything from start to finish.

New Sport Pilots If you are an aviation enthusiast seeking your first pilot certificate, the sport pilot certificate provides the easiest and least costly way to fly for fun and recreation. The minimum required training time for the different light sport aircraft categories are: Airplane: 20 hours Powered Parachute: 12 hours Weight-Shift-Control (Trikes): 20 hours Glider: 10 hours Rotorcraft (gyroplane only): 20 hours Lighter-Than-Air: 20 hours (airship) or 7 hours (balloon) To earn a sport pilot certificate, one must: Be at least 16 to become a student sport pilot (14 for glider). Be at least 17 to test for a sport pilot certificate (16 for gliders). Be able to read, write, and understand English. Hold a current and valid U.S. driver’s license as evidence of medical eligibility (provided the FAA didn’t deny, revoke, or suspend your last medical certificate application). Alternatively, you can also use a third class airman’s medical to establish medical fitness. Pass an FAA sport pilot knowledge test. Pass a FAA sport pilot practical (flight) test.
