LEARN TO FLY Earn your license in three simple steps: Flight Training. Written Test. FAA Checkride. Enjoy. “These new FAA rules not only increase flight safety, but they stand to make aviation dramatically more accessible and affordable for all those who’ve ever dreamed of flying. I can’t wait to get my A5.” PETE BUNCE GAMA President, Former F-15 Instructor Pilot Due to recent regulation changes, becoming a pilot is now easier and more fun than ever before. The Federal Aviation Administration’s new Sport Pilot License (SPL) is all you need to fly an ICON A5. Training costs $3,000 - $5,000 per student and typically takes two weeks of full-time instruction (or train in multiple sessions). REQUIREMENTS – Valid driver’s license – Minimum 17 years of age – Good health (no FAA medical certificate is required) SPORT PILOT RESTRICTIONS – Daytime only – Good weather only – Uncontrolled airspace only (fly in controlled airspace with an instructor endorsement) – Limited to 10,000 feet above sea level (or 2,000 feet above ground level if above 10,000 feet) THREE EASY STEPS 1. Training: log at least 20 hours of flight training from an FAA Certified Flight Instructor 2. Testing: pass the standardized FAA written exam 3. Checkride: pass the oral exam and in-flight practical with an FAA-designated Sport Pilot Examiner WHERE YOU CAN FLY Over 99% of airspace in the United States is available to Sport Pilots. A Sport Pilot License alone permits flight in uncontrolled airspace. In addition, a Sport Pilot can obtain a towered airport endorsement from a flight instructor and fly into all but the eleven busiest airports in the country.
