Am interested in finding out if Sportys would ever create their learn to Fly videos for Android devices.

Kerron, we do offer a number of apps for Android, but not our Learn to Fly Course. Thanks for the input–we’ll consider it.
For now, our Online Learn to Fly Course works well on Android devices: http://www.sportys.com/PilotShop/product/17136

We offer flight lessons at Sporty’s Academy, our on-site flight school outside Cincinnati, Ohio. If you’re not close to us, try a school nearby.

My son and daughter both participated in the Young Eagles Program. My daughter turned 18, graduated and is now in College. She is still interested in flying just from that experience. My son started the free Sporty’s Flying class but never finished it. My daughter never had time to start it. How does that compare to the DVD or online course you offer for the 3 types of flying pilots do? Can either one of them still do the course or has the opportunity expired?

Michelle, the course described on this page is exactly the same one your son and daughter used. As far as still accessing the course, it’s possible. You might contact Brian O’Lena at EAA for details.

Michelle,
Let me encourage you to do everything you can to help your daughter become a pilot. I have a daughter in college who is a pilot and working on an instrument rating. She has the opportunity from time-to-time to share a flight and her passion for flying with other students (even a professor has expressed an interest in going flying). It will obviously be an additional expense for lessons, but there may be a flying club nearby or scholarships that can make it more affordable.
It is a ‘lifetime achievement’ and will make her one of the few – there are only 40K women pilots in the US.

Hello,
I stopped taking flying lessons about 7 years ago and managed to log about 47.5 hours of flight time. Unfortunately I never received my certificate due to some time constraints and money issues I was having at the time. Now I am kicking myself in the butt for never finishing. I was so close!!! Anyways, I was curious how I would start back up again. Thanks for any input you could give me!

Good news, Nick. Your time never expires, so hang onto the logbook. A good way to get started back up may be to review some home study videos (like this: http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/category/820). This would help you knock the rust off and get up to date on new regulations, etc. Step 2 is to get out to the airport and take a flight with an instructor. See where you are, and talk to your flight instructor about making a plan to get back into it. You CAN do it!

What is the difference between the DVD program for $199 and the You Tube videos online?
at 9:36 am
The DVDs include over 12 hours of high quality video and 3D animations, plus a complete written test prep study program. It’s much more comprehensive.

I cannot wait to start my lessons!

Not to take anything away from Sporty’s but there is a new Recreational Aviation suite out for Aussies now available at http://learntoflydvd.com.au/
