Sporty’s pilot training courses have been updated for 2025 with a number of enhancements, including the introduction of AI tools, new video-based training content, test prep updates, and new interactive scenarios, according to company officials.
AI: Aviation Intelligence
With Sporty’s new AI feature, students can start a session with ChatDPE, a virtual pilot examiner, for interactive study that simulates the experience of the oral exam portion of the practical test.
Questions cover all sections of the Airman Certification Standards (ACS), and responses will be critiqued instantly for accuracy. If the answer is wrong or incomplete, users will get additional information on the topic, along with feedback on how to improve the answer.
ChatDPE can be paired with another new AI tool: ChatFAR. The Federal Aviation Regulations are complex by design, making them challenging for student pilots to navigate. ChatFAR removes those barriers with a simple chat interface. Simply enter any question related to private pilot operations or flight training, and the AI legal expert will explain the applicable regulations in plain English, according to Sporty’s officials.
New Training Content
A new section of the Learn to Fly Course on calculating takeoff and landing performance demystifies the complicated charts that are essential for safe flying, Sporty’s officials said. Students can put that knowledge to use with a new segment on short and soft field takeoffs and landings.
Aviation weather is another crucial part of flying. To help pilots master this complex subject, Sporty’s has introduced a suite of new video lessons that focus on interpreting weather products and understanding where to find them.
New Interactive Pilot Scenarios
Sporty’s interactive scenarios go beyond video lessons, providing feedback on performance and allowing users to identify areas for improvement.
New interactive scenarios for 2025 include: METAR interpretation, TAF analysis, weight and balance scenarios, takeoff distance calculations, and landing distance examples.
Test Prep Updates
The FAA continually updates the Private Pilot Knowledge Test with new questions and topics. Accordingly, Sporty’s has added dozens of new questions that reflect the latest changes this year. Test prep updates are designed to ensure students are proficient and fully prepared for the actual test, with no wasted effort studying outdated questions, according to company officials.
After completing a Sporty’s course, pilots can earn an automatic flight instructor endorsement, which is required in order to take the FAA knowledge test.
Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course, Instrument Rating Course, and Commercial Pilot Course can be purchased for $299 each.
Free lifetime updates are included with each course.
