If you are looking for a new aviation challenge and are considering an add-on rating, you can start out by watching one of Sporty’s new video programs to learn more about the transition process before spending a stack of Benjamin Franklins on actual flight training. The company’s online pilot shop has added four new video courses designed to make it easier for you to transition to seaplanes, gliders, helicopters or twin-engine airplanes.

The courses are offered online, so you don’t need to download any content, and they include material that will get you ready for the FAA checkrides. In addition to Sporty’s video-style training materials, you can access FAA’s training resources within the courses. Review quizzes help to make sure that you understand the key concepts of the presented materials.

Simply log on to sportys.com to purchase So You Want to Fly Twins for $79.99, So You Want to Fly Gliders for $49.99, So You Want to Fly Seaplanes for $39.99 and So You Want to Fly Helicopters for $69.99. If you decide not to complete the actual pilot certificate, you will at least get FAA Wings credit for completing the video course.
