 The world of light-sport aircraft (LSA) will
again be on display for the entire week of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh as
aviation enthusiasts browse the latest models in recreational aircraft at
the very popular LSA Mall. Located just south of AeroShell Square, EAA's
LSA Mall introduces current and prospective pilots to economical personal
flight with a wide variety of new, low-cost, light sport aircraft
including categories of factory-built and amateur-built experimental.
The LSA Mall has been a favorite of
AirVenture guests since the emergence of the sport pilot rule in 2004. The
sport pilot movement has helped enthusiasts learn to fly and gain access
to aircraft for half the cost and in half the time of previous
alternatives.
Sport pilot information is also available
at EAA Member Village, on the west edge of AeroShell Square. A team of EAA
sport pilot experts and aviation literature will be on hand to provide
AirVenture guests guidance and answers to their questions about personal
flight. In the Learn to Fly Center at Member Village, EAA members have the
opportunity from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to obtain, at no cost, an FAA student
sport pilot certificate, which is required by the FAA for the solo-flight
training phase.
EAA is dedicated to enhancing it members'
participation in and enjoyment of recreational flight. For more
