USA – Sporty’s Pilot Shop has launched substantial 2026 updates to its Learn to Fly Course and FAR/AIM training resources, introducing AI‑powered tools, new video content, and expanded training tracks designed to modernise pilot education and support more efficient learning pathways.

• ChatCFI: A new 24/7 virtual Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) assistant that gives students instant, accurate answers to course questions with direct links to in‑course learning materials, enhancing on‑demand study support.

• ChatDPE: Sporty’s first Aviation Intelligence (AI) exam prep tool simulates a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) oral exam, enabling interactive preparation that builds familiarity with checkride questioning and procedures.

• ChatFAR: An AI‑driven tool that interprets Federal Aviation Regulations in plain English, helping students understand regulatory requirements — particularly valuable for private pilot training.

• New 4K Video Content: The updated course content includes high‑resolution lessons covering key maneuvers such as steep turns, slow flight, and stalls, as well as enhanced segments on ForeFlight integration to support real‑world cockpit workflows.

• Video Lesson Summaries: Each lesson now includes concise summaries of core concepts, ideal for pre‑lesson refreshers, test preparation review, and focused study bursts.

• Flight Instructor Focus: A new series that places students in the cockpit with an actual CFI demonstrating maneuvers, common student errors, and corrective techniques to deepen procedural understanding.

• Sport Pilot & MOSAIC‑Ready Training: The 2026 course introduces a Sport Pilot training track updated for MOSAIC regulations, which broaden Sport Pilot privileges to more capable aircraft, giving students access to enhanced training pathways.
