Ever Thought About Flying a Plane Yourself?
Becoming a pilot might seem like a distant dream, but it’s more achievable than you think! If you’re ready to pursue your passion for flying, the Sport Pilot License (SPL) is your perfect entry point into the skies!
What is the SPL?
The Sport Pilot License (SPL) is a certification issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) specifically for operating Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). Compared to a Private Pilot License (PPL), the SPL is easier to obtain and has lower entry requirements, making it the ideal choice for turning your dream of flying into reality!
Why Get an SPL?
1. Short Training Time, Low Entry Barrier
Only 20 hours of flight training are required, including 10 solo hours, to apply for the license.
Minimal theory requirements mean you can focus on hands-on flying, fast-tracking your dream.
2. Affordable Cost
Training for the SPL is significantly more budget-friendly than other pilot licenses, making it an excellent choice for aspiring pilots.
3. Perfect for Light Aircraft Enthusiasts
If you love the freedom and thrill of flying small aircraft, the SPL is tailor-made for you.
4. Enjoy the Joy of Flying
With just a few lessons, you’ll be able to pilot a light aircraft and experience the fun of Visual Flight Rules (VFR), soaring through the skies and leaving your worries on the ground.
