Sport Pilot License Program at Van Nuys Airport

The Sport Pilot License is the fastest, most affordable way to legally fly your own aircraft — and the perfect first step for anyone who wants to be a pilot without the longer commitment of a full Private certificate. You'll train in our easy-flying Cessna 162 Skycatcher with a dedicated FAA instructor and could be flying as Pilot in Command in a matter of weeks.

★ 4.9 on 500+ reviewsLowest-price guaranteeNo FAA medical required*Open 7 days · 9am–9pm

Sport Pilot is built for recreational flyers who want blue-sky, day-VFR flying in light-sport aircraft. Because the certificate requires fewer hours than a Private Pilot Certificate, it's the lowest-cost route into the cockpit — and every hour you fly counts toward a Private certificate later if you decide to go further.

Why start with Sport Pilot at Los Angeles Flight School

The lowest-cost path to flying

Fewer required hours than a Private certificate means you reach Pilot in Command faster and for less.

No FAA medical needed*

Sport Pilots can fly using a valid U.S. driver's license in place of an FAA medical certificate.

Friendly light-sport trainer

The Cessna 162 Skycatcher is forgiving, economical, and a joy for your very first hours in the air.

A head start on your Private

Want more later? Your Sport training applies directly toward your Private Pilot Certificate.

What you'll achieve

You'll earn your FAA Sport Pilot Certificate, fly light-sport aircraft as Pilot in Command in day-VFR conditions, and gain the stick-and-rudder confidence to enjoy the skies over Southern California whenever you like.
