About the Aircraft
The FAA has defined light-sport aircraft as simple-to-operate, easy-to-fly aircraft.
Getting Started
To fly as a sport pilot, you need two things: an aircraft that meets the Light-Sport Aircraft criteria, and a sport pilot (or higher) certificate. Whether you’re just about to learn to fly for the first time or you’re a long-time pilot looking to transition, EAA can help.
