LearnToFlyHere.com Re-Launched by Sporty’s

Sporty's has relaunched its LearnToFlyHere.com website, with rich video content and a new learn-to-fly blog. Designed as an Internet resource for anyone interested in learning to fly, the redesigned site includes 20 minutes of video content, divided into four segments: Why you should learn to fly; How to go about it; A typical first lesson; and How to choose a flight school. An interactive blog covers issues common to new student pilots, such as more detail on choosing a flight school (the site also includes a database of schools arranged geographically), the relative benefits of the Recreational Pilot certificate, and more. Several of Sporty's flight instructors will contribute to the blog, along with Sporty's Founder and Chairman Hal Shevers. Naturally, the site will include a pilot store for prospective students, focusing on the equipment, resources and gadgets most appropriate to the student pilot experience. Sporty's Academy President Eric Radtke said, "We want people who are looking for learn-to-fly information to know they have a team of experts on their side. Our community of general aviation pilots needs new entrants to ensure a healthy future for all of us." To view the new site, go to www.LearnToFlyHere.com.

Mark Phelps is a senior editor at AVweb. He is an instrument rated private pilot and former owner of a Grumman American AA1B and a V-tail Bonanza.
