BECOME A 
SPORT PILOT

A Sport Pilot license allows you to experience pleasure flying with a friend.  If you are not planning to fly for the Airlines or the Military, the Sport Pilot license may be just the ticket!  

This is a great way to get into the world of recreational flying, and no one can give you better instruction than the experts at CHI Aerospace. Our uniquely-designed programs will guide you and give you the personalized experience you need for greater success.

The Sport Pilot license is a hassle-free way to fly.  You are not required to have a medical certificate.  If you have a current Driver's License, you are cleared to fly as a Sport Pilot.
