Free transition training for used LSA buyers

By Janice Wood · September 6, 2011 ·

SportairUSA now offers free transition flight training and a free aircraft safety check to purchasers of used Sting, Sirius, and Savage light sport aircraft.

“We have always provided free transition flight and ground school training to our new aircraft buyers,” said Bill Canino, CEO of SportairUSA. “To help maintain the safety of the fleet, as our aircraft enter the pre-owned market, we have decided to offer the same service, plus a free aircraft safety check, to buyers of used Sting, Sirius and Savage airplanes.”

It doesn’t matter who you buy from, bring your airplane for a free safety check and get a factory approved checkout for your own personal flight safety program, company officials note. SportairUSA will provide up to five hours of transition flight and ground training with its CFIs and A&Ps, and will issue a course completion certificate for your insurance company.

SportairUSA, an FAA repair station that also performs aircraft inspection and maintenance, is located at the North Little Rock, Arkansas, Municipal Airport (ORK).
