Sporty’s has updated and expanded its online video training catalog to include four new aircraft transition courses including So You Want to Fly Twins; So You Want to Fly Helicopters; So You Want to Fly Gliders; and So You Want to Fly Seaplanes.

Each program incorporates Sporty’s signature video style centered primarily around engaging in-flight footage from both inside and outside the cockpit, complemented by realistic 3D graphics to help students learn complex subjects. The course material focuses on both aircraft systems and maneuvers to thoroughly prepare you for the FAA checkride.

“Pilots have their comfort zones with aircraft. When you’re changing the type of aircraft you fly, these transition courses provide you with not only important information, but a big boost in confidence,” says Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman.

Each course includes a variety of supplemental FAA training resources to provide additional information accessible right in the course. A review quiz is included based on content from the videos to help reinforce key concepts. After successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a personalized completion certificate, perfect for employers, insurance forms or flight schools.
