Freedom to Fly- Preflight a Fixed Wing: Light-Sport Aircraft for Sport Pilots

Follow a routine preflight inspection to learn the proper way to ensure a safe, enjoyable flight. Sport Pilot expert Paul Hamilton role-plays as the student embarking on his first flight in a fixed wing LSA. Instructor Jeff Reynolds takes Paul through an easy-to-follow and comprehensive preflight inspection. This straightforward presentation is truly informative and educational for the beginner pilot, as well as the experienced aviator wanting a refresher or transitioning aircraft.

The beautiful cinematography features plenty of in-flight footage that captures the thrill and adventure of flying a light-sport aircraft. Preflight procedures are the most important steps a pilot can take to ensure a safe flight – the pilot-in-command is responsible for determining whether the aircraft is in safe condition. Prior to every flight, a pilot should at least perform a walk-around inspection of the aircraft to determine its airworthiness. Watch this DVD to understand how this walk-around inspection should be accomplished.

Freedom to Fly- Weather to Fly for Sport Pilots

Follow a routine preflight inspection to learn the proper way to ensure a safe, enjoyable flight. SpSport Pilots fly lower and slower than General Aviation pilots, so weather plays a critical factor in your flying. This straightforward and beautiful presentation features time-lapsed cinematography of cloud formations, in-air footage, and animations. This DVD simplifies complex weather concepts as well as illustrates consequences of pilot judgement in a 5-step system specific to Sport Pilots and light-sport aircraft operations. You will learn to forecast local conditions, interpret weather information accurately, make better decisions about “whether to fly,” and learn to see trends – so you “get smarter each time you fly.”

This is a much needed instructional DVD on pilot weather and meteorology. Flight Instructor, Paul Hamilton, takes you through a simple 5-step system specific to Sport Pilots flying weight-shift trikes, powered parachutes, fixed wing ultralight and light sport aircraft to show where to acquire weather data and how to interpret it.
