Advanced Training

Solo Sport Pilot Training - Advanced Flight Training: Cost $150.00 per hour depending on aircraft.

You will need to log a minimum of 5 hours of Sport Pilot Solo time before being checked out to train in unstable conditions or wind over 10 mph. As a Sport Pilot Student, you must meet and agree to the financial obligation of replacing or repairing the aircraft in the event you do not return it in the condition you took it, before solo training.

Advanced Sport Pilot Training and Ultralight Training

For those already comfortable with basic flight and hold a Sport Pilot Certificate pilot we offer advanced flight training. An Ultralight Pilot with membership in one of the three organizations (USUA, EAA, ASC) can also sign up for advanced training after 20 hours of logged solo time.   This can be as simple as familiarity with steeper turns, safe low level flying, cross country navigation, advanced force landing procedures from dead stick, and airport pattern and radio work to flying in adverse wind and weather conditions (strong winds, thermals, strong cross winds) rotors over close trees when landing, midday thermal soaring and how to spot and recognize them from ground detail and in the air, recovery from unusual attitudes, short field landings and take off and eventually close formation flying.  For those of you ready to begin advance flight training you will be shown a whole new level of flight that will expand your enjoyment and ability levels to plateaus you never knew existed.

Adding additional Sport Pilot Category Endorsements

Once Sport Pilot gets sufficient time in the air and has mastered their skills, you may wish to go on to get endorsements in additional Sport Pilot categories.  Skybound Sports Academy offers this training, but be warned, don’t come unless you are sure your flying ability is unquestionable in your current category. 

Our flight school is not like many weekend warrior schools where you just fly around the sky for 5 hours and then expect to get additional categories endorsed in your logbook.  Here you will work hard for it. When completed you will a far better pilot than you ever imagined.
