Forget Video Games: Learn to Fly a Real Airplane - On Line!


Sporty's Pilot Shop, the world's largest supplier of aviation
educational products and pilot supplies, has put you one step closer to
flying with their new online flight training courses.

"You get everything in our Complete Pilot Courses, plus some," says
Sporty's Academy President Eric Radtke. "Along with the award-winning
video, you get interactive test preparation, an interactive maneuvers
section, an online training syllabus, and the entire Federal Aviation
Administration Practical Test Standards."

In order to become a pilot, three tests are required, very similar to
getting your driver's license. First you must pass a written test, then an
oral test, and then a flight test. A flight test, called a "check ride," is
just like the road test you took when you got your driver's license, but
this one takes place in an airplane. If you learn to fly with any of
Sporty's courses, Sporty's offers you a Triple Guarantee. Sporty's
guarantees that if you fail any of your three tests, the company will
refund your money. You can't lose!

Sporty's Pilot Shop makes learning to fly at home easy, and you can do
it at your own pace, with their course which guides you step by step. You
don't even have to wait until you pass the written test to start your
actual flight lessons. Visit any airport with a flight school, and you can
start lessons instantly. That means you could be at the controls of an
airplane, flying over your own neighborhood, tomorrow.

You may be thinking that learning to fly is too expensive and out of
reach of the average person. What you may now know, however, is that most
flight schools allow you to pay as you go so there's no large,
out-of-pocket expense up front. There are also financing programs
available.

Sporty's Pilot Shop is determined to share the joys of flying with as
many people as possible. Picture yourself flying to a ski resort for the
weekend or to cut out those long drives when you visit family and friends.
If you enjoy fishing, being a pilot gives you access to many remote
locations only reachable by air. Or you may be thinking of a career in
aviation, as an airline pilot, a medevac pilot or a corporate pilot.

For people who are just learning to fly, you have a choice of pilot
license. You can be a recreational pilot or a private pilot. For a
description and comparison of each, visit Sporty's learn-to-fly Web site at

Whatever your reason for learning to fly -- even if the reason is
"because I always wanted to" -- Sporty's will help you take the first step.
The Recreational Pilot Course and the Transition to Private Pilot are each
available for $99; the Private Pilot Course is available for $199, and the
Instrument Rating Course is available for $249. Multi-user licensing is
available to flight schools. All Sporty's products may be ordered at
sportys.com or by calling Sporty's at 1.800.SPORTYS.
