The new Sport Pilot rule makes flying affordable! On September 1, 2004 the FAA inaugurated a new pilot certificate dubbed the "sport pilot" that makes learning to fly easier and more affordable that ever. Intended primarily for recreational use, you can now become a pilot with as little as 20 hours of flight instruction! In addition, the FAA also created a new category of affordable "light-sport aircraft"!

SportPilotTalk.com is the discussion forum for sport pilots and light-sport aircraft. The FAA's new rule, in effect since September 2004, created a new pilot certificate dubbed the "sport pilot" that makes learning to fly easier and more affordable that ever before. The new rule also created a new category of aircraft - light sport aircraft - which has introduced a new fleet of modern, affordable sport aircraft. Now, learning to fly is no more expensive than a small motorcycle, boat or pop-up camper!
