Atlanta Sport Flying
Sport Pilot Reference and Reading Material
The easiest and most cost effective way to study for the Sport Pilot written test is  to purchase a ground school package such as available from Dauntless http://www.dauntless- soft.com/products/groundschool/ or from Gleim Sport Pilot Kit with Online Ground School The Dauntless ground school  is an application for PC or Ipad - the sport pilot package is less than $50 and includes the WSC questions so is highly recommended for trike students. The Gleim kit has  more basic on-line training as compared to Daunltess and does not have the WSC questions but includes:- Flight Bag Flight Computer FAR/AIM FAA Test Prep Online-Sport Pilot Logbook On-line Communication Course Gleim On-line Ground School for Sport Pilots Sport Pilot Handbook Plotter Sport Pilot Flight Manoeuvres and Practical Test Prep book Sport Pilot FAA Knowledge Test Book Sport Pilot Syllabus Book Sport Pilot Training Record Book Not included in either and required for Weight Shift Control is the FAA publication FAA-H-8083-5 - Weight Shift Control Flying Handbook - this is a free PDF download but can also be bought on-line. If buying on-line be sure to get the full size color copy, you’ll see cheaper versions but they can be black and white and a waste of money  - recommend  the pilot store It also important to read and understand your aircraft operating manual - the manuals are normally available on-line Other items can also be purchased at pilot stores such as Sporty’s Pilot Shop  or mypilotstore.com Also not in the Gleim package is a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Sectional Chart - the chart is required for cross country flying and provides major ground reference features, airspace, airports and ground elevations - Training is from Jackson County Airport which is on the Atlanta Chart If you have a tablet or smart phone Sectional Charts and accompanying flight planning software can be downloaded from Garman or Foreflight.   Both offer a free trial download after that a yearly subscription is required. There is also a free application AVARE for Android which works quite well By planning trial cross countries the Apps are a fun way to learn the about Sectional Charts Airspace, Airports  and cross country planning.  You should also register (it’s free!) with the FAA web site https://www.1800wxbrief.com  it contains a wealth of information required for safe flying including:-  Weather, Notams, Airport information, Briefings  and allows flight plans to be filed and activated/closed with Flight Services.
