Your no idiot of course! You know it takes more instruction and skill to fly a plane than drive a car. However, thanks to the Federal Aviation Administration, aspiring pilots now have the opportunity to obtain a sport-flying license for a fraction of the cost and time involved in getting a private-pilot license.

In this Complete Idiot's Guide you get:

• A jargon free overview of the sport-flying program
• Solid flight instruction, from basic aerodynamics to cross-country flying.
• Helpful reviews, with photographs, of the most popular light-sport aircraft models.
• Tips on how to save money in licensing fees, insurance, fuel and maintenance through the sport-flying program.

Ready your flight path! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sport Flying sets you on the runway with top-gun advice on becoming an ace pilot.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sport Flying also includes rules, resources, a glossary and a list of abbreviations/acronyms specific to sport-flying.
