 More
than two-dozen aircraft are expected to be on display at EAA AirVenture's
Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) Mall this year. Located just south of AeroShell
Square, the LSA Mall is where you can see a wide variety of new, low-cost,
LSA including factory-built and amateur-built experimental models as well
as sport pilot-eligible standard category planes.
The LSA Mall has been a favorite of
AirVenture guests since the emergence of the sport pilot rule in 2004. The
growing sport pilot movement is helping enthusiasts learn to fly and gain
access to aircraft for half the cost and in half the time of previous
alternatives. At the LSA Mall, visitors can inspect the planes, talk to
the manufacturers, and ask questions from EAA's sport pilot experts.
Sport pilot information is also available
at the nearby EAA Member Village, on the west edge of AeroShell Square.
Also, 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.
