Save Time and Money with our Triple Guarantee!

Pass all 3 tests or get your money back: written test, oral exam and flight test

Learning to fly will unlock a world of possibilities and give you unparalleled freedom to see the world. To earn your license, you must pass three FAA tests: the knowledge (or written) test, an oral interview with an examiner, and a flight test (or checkride). Sporty’s courses will help you pass all three of these tests with flying colors, plus give you the real world tips you need after you earn your license.

At Sporty’s, we operate our own flight school, so we know your time and money are precious. That’s why our courses were developed to save you both. This is not a weekend “cram course.” It is comprehensive home study companion to your flight training, and it will make your lessons more efficient, more fun and more complete. Just add flight instructor!

The Sporty’s Difference

• Real World Video--We put you in the cockpit for a "pilot's-eye-view" of everything you'll see during your flight lessons. Learning to fly is much more than just passing a multiple choice test. So unlike other courses, ours are not slideshows and talking heads, and there are no textbooks to read. We'll teach you to be an aviator, not just a pilot.
• Save Hours of Flight Lessons--By reviewing our course before each lesson, you'll go to your next flight prepared. This will make your time with your instructor much more efficient, saving you time and money.
• The Most Complete Course--With Sporty's university-level course, we take you beyond the book answers. Our course focuses on really learning to fly, not just memorizing test questions. In fact, our course is so complete it has been accepted by the FAA for use in approved flight schools.
• A Personalized Training Experience--Don't waste your time in a classroom! With our courses, you learn on your own schedule and at your own pace. It's easy to review segments multiple times or skip ahead.
• Written Test Endorsement--When you've completed the course, just let us know and we'll provide you the necessary signoff to take the test--automatically. No instructor needed.

Now includes mobile video upgrade!

Your purchase of Sporty's Online Course also gives you free access to the mobile-optimized version. You can watch every video segment on your iPad, iPhone, Android or Blackberry. There's even an option to view Hi Res or Low Res versions of the video, ideal for switching between WiFi and 3G connections. Mobile version does not include test prep, maneuvers, Training Course Outline or PTS Study Guide--these features must be accessed from the Online Course, and do not work on mobile devices. 

"If you just watch the videos, you'll save many hours of instruction AND you'll pass your written, oral and flight exams."

About our modular flight training courses

Sporty's courses break your training into three manageable steps: the first solo flight, the Recreational certificate and the Private certificate. This building-block approach to flight training will save you time and money, and you'll have a lot more fun. Get started for just $115, and you'll have everything you need for your first 30 hours of flying--including your first solo flight and Recreational checkride. To continue on to the Private certificate, use Part 2 to complete the course.

What Format Should I Choose?

Both the DVD and the online version include the exact same video segments, test prep software and books. The DVD Course is great for watching on your large screen TV, and includes long-lasting hard copies of the books.

The Online Course is ideal for those who travel, as you can use the full course anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection--there is no software to install. You also have automatic access to any updates; when a new video segment is added, you get it free and automatically. Finally, the online courses also include a Maneuvers Guide that shows all the required maneuvers for the checkride, complete with completion standards and tips. Both versions work on Windows (including 7) or Mac.
