First Landings Aviation became Central Florida’s first sport pilot
training center in May of 2009. Since then, we have taught more sport
pilots to fly than any other flight schools in the country. Our alumni
come from nearly all 50 states, and several countries around the world.
This course will give you the knowledge and experience to earn your
certificate and become a safe operating pilot in the aviation world. You
can schedule your flights as you have availability, and make flying your
new leisure activity - It’s completely up to you how long your program
takes! All your efforts will concentrate on training you to be a safe,
responsible, and experienced Sport Pilot ready to pass the FAA practical
test. Our facilities also include a luxurious pilot’s lounge and area
for students to study and work with each other while here.
Sport Pilot Program
The Sport Pilot certificate represents a new way to fly that is safe, fun, and more affordable. It allows those interested in flight to obtain their rating in half the time and for half the cost of the traditional Private Pilot certificate. So climb aboard, take the controls, and launch into new adventures in aviation today.

Checkride Information
A check-ride is an essential part of the pilot certification process
that includes both a flight test and an oral exam. During a check-ride,
a designated pilot examiner (DPE) assesses the pilot's ability to
operate an aircraft safely and proficiently. The examination covers
various aspects, including flight maneuvers, navigation, emergency
procedures, communication skills, and a thorough understanding of
aviation regulations.

DISCOVERY FLIGHT
KICK START YOUR AVIATION EXPERIENCE
We offer a 1-hour discovery flight to give you the opportunity to experience taking to the air. A certified flight instructor will demonstrate preflight and flying techniques before you climb aboard, will taxi down the runway and before you know it, you are in the air! During the flight, you will have the opportunity to control the plane through the sky and try out several maneuvers before the pilot takes over again for landing. At the subsequent debriefing, guests pen their first logbook entry and review their performance.
