New Sport Pilot Video Training In The Pipe
The Experimental Aircraft Association and King Schools are
combining resources to create four new, comprehensive training
courses for flight students and instructors, putting together the
knowledge and expertise of the leaders in the sport pilot and
aviation training fields.
Two of these new courses will prepare sport pilot students for
both the written exam and flight test for the sport pilot
certificate. In addition, EAA and King Schools will also
produce similar tests designed for instructors who want to earn the
necessary ratings to teach sport pilot candidates.
"We associated with King
Schools because it is one of the most trusted names in pilot
education in the world. John and Martha King's names have become
synonymous with high-quality flight training materials," said EAA
President Tom Poberezny (shown above with Martha and John
King).
The sport-pilot student course includes the Sport Pilot
Knowledge Course, which prepares students for the Federal Aviation
Administration written exam, while Sport Pilot Check Ride explains
the maneuvers and aerodynamic knowledge necessary to pass FAA's
practical (flight) test. The DVDs available to instructors
include Sport Pilot Instructor Knowledge Course for the written
exam and Sport Pilot Instructor Check Ride for the rating's
practical test.
"The sport-pilot rule will open doors for recreational flying to
flourish as never before," said John King, co-founder of King
Schools. "We're thrilled that EAA has selected King Schools as its
official provider for sport pilot training. We're deeply
committed to the mission of creating smart, safe and fun sport
fliers."
The projected release date of the new training DVDs will be
announced shortly after FAA's publication of the final sport
pilot/light-sport aircraft rule. The courses will be
available through both the EAA and King Schools web sites and
catalogs.
