Sporty’s updates training catalog

By General Aviation News Staff · April 23, 2015 ·

Sporty’s has updated and expanded its online video training catalog to include four new aircraft transition courses, including So You Want to Fly Twins, So You Want to Fly Helicopters, So You Want to Fly Gliders, and So You Want to Fly Seaplanes.

Each program incorporates Sporty’s signature video style centered primarily around in-flight footage from both inside and outside the cockpit, complemented by realistic 3D graphics to help students learn complex subjects. The course material focuses on both aircraft systems and maneuvers to thoroughly prepare you for the FAA checkride.

“Pilots have their comfort zones with aircraft. When you’re changing the type of aircraft you fly, these transition courses provide you with not only important information, but a big boost in confidence,” says Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman.

Each course includes a variety of supplemental FAA training resources to provide additional information right in the course. A review quiz is included based on content from the videos. After successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a personalized completion certificate. All four courses are accepted for FAA WINGS credit.

Courses can be viewed online anywhere you have a web browser and internet connection. The courses require no software to install — just sign in.

So You want to Fly Twins [93000] is available for $79.99. So You Want to Fly Gliders [93003] is available for $49.99. So You Want to Fly Seaplanes [93002] is available for $39.99, and So You Want to Fly Helicopters [93001] is available for $69.99
