The Sport Pilot License is the fastest, most affordable way to become a pilot. At Los Angeles Flight School, Van Nuys (KVNY), you can get certified in as few as 20 flight hours — half the minimum of a Private Pilot License — with ground school included in one fixed price.
What a Sport Pilot can do
Fly light sport aircraft by day, carry a passenger, and enjoy the freedom of the Los Angeles skies. Best of all, every hour you log counts toward a full Private Pilot License whenever you're ready to upgrade.
What's included
- Single-engine aircraft — 25 hours
- FAA full-motion simulator — 3 hours
- Dual instruction (aircraft & sim) — 25 hours
- Ground school & briefings — 10 hours
Total logged time: 28 hours. One big perk: Sport Pilot students can often fly using a valid U.S. driver's license instead of an FAA medical certificate.

The Sport Pilot License package starts at $7,900 with financing available. Enroll now, take a discovery flight, or call (818) 399-9905.
