The training required to fly a
Fixed Wing 3-axis Airplane is 15 hours of dual instruction and 5 hours of solo flight before the
student pilot can take the Sport Pilot exam.
If a student holds a Sport
Pilot rating in a different category of Light Sport Aircraft the student is
required to log 5 hours of dual flight instruction in the Fixed Wing
category. After completion a log book entry will be added by the CFI. At that
point the student will also hold a Sport Pilot rating for Fixed Wing.
