Apps for every pilot

Over 50,000 downloads

That's how many pilots, from students to experienced ATPs, tried a Sporty's app last year. One reason so many pilots fly with Sporty's apps is that we offer such a broad range. Whether you're learning to fly, getting current or looking for an everyday tool, we have an app that can help.

 

1000 written test endorsements

Our Learn to Fly app is a complete resource for student pilots, with over 20 hours of video, written test prep questions, a training syllabus and more. When you've completed the course, our CFIs will give you the endorsement to go take the written test - which we did for nearly 1000 pilots last year!

We also offer a complete course for pilots working on an instrument rating.

New apps for new markets

In addition to updates, the app team at Sporty's is always working on new apps as well. In late 2016 we launched our newest Study Buddy - this one for drone pilots. If you're studying for the Remote Pilot written test, there's no faster or easier way to prepare.
