Gleim offers Sport Pilot student certification

By Janice Wood · January 4, 2011 ·

At the 2011 U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida, Jan. 20-23, Gleim will help pilots-to-be earn their wings. Individuals will be able to take a two-hour course at the show and achieve their Sport Pilot Student Certificate, which is required before flying a Light-Sport Aircraft solo.

“Our online courses have benefited thousands of users,” says President Dr. Irvin Gleim, “and with the addition of offering this course in an accelerated format at the Expo, we hope to help generate more interest in the Sport Pilot rating and prove that it is not to difficult to become a pilot.”

Participants can earn their Sport Pilot Student Certificate from Gleim in two ways:

  1. Take the Gleim online Sport Pilot Student Certificate Course ahead of time and have a Gleim representative issue their student certificate at the Expo.
  2. Attend the two-hour certification course at the Expo.

The cost for this course and service is $26.96. It includes a credit to offset the cost of admission to the Expo and several special discounts on Gleim Sport and Private Pilot training materials.
