Introduction
Welcome to the Western Sport Pilot Association
LLC Accelerated Training courses. These are
comprehensive courses designed for aspiring
pilots with no previous flight experience, or for
transitioning certified pilots. You will be paired
one-on-one with a professional FAA flight
instructor for the entire course. The courses are
completed at one of several great locations in
the Pacific Northwest. Lodging is available
nearby and dry RV camping is available at no
cost at two locations. These are fun courses
and you will build skills to help you fly safely for
a lifetime!

Your course fee covers virtually everything required to earn your rating, including instructors,
aircraft rentals, testing fees, and study materials. At the completion of the course you will have
a student pilot, sport pilot license with privileges to operate a two-seat light sport powered
parachute or weight shift trike, or a private pilot certificate for either category. And we will
connect you with the EAA UL Chapter 127 to introduce you to scores of other pilots and their
families in the Pacific Northwest.
While there is no guarantee that you will have the skills to successfully complete the course
and pass the tests our success rate to date is 100%! Our staff will spend as much time as
required during the course schedule to help you be successful and achieve your goal of
becoming a Light Sport Pilot. Profiles of our staff are included in your notebook. And your
assigned instructor will contact you before you begin to insure that you are properly prepared.
These materials have been organized and provided to you in advance of the course to help
you prepare. One unique aspect of our course is the ability to participate in an on line ground
school before you begin your training. Because the entire course is accelerated, the more
preparation you do before you arrive, the higher your chance of success and enjoyment of the
course.
We are providing you with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to complete the necessary
paperwork and prepare for your first day of class. If you have any initial questions about the
course or the materials you have received, contact:

Overview of the Courses
Earning your student, sport pilot or private
pilot certificate in a powered parachute or
Dual Training in Six Chuter XTssdc
weight shift "trike" is perhaps the most
economical and certainly safest way to earn a
pilot’s license. Your pilot certificate will
provide you the privilege of operating a twoseat light sport aircraft, carrying a maximum of
one other passenger, during daylight hours in
VFR (visual flight rules) weather. Once you
have earned your Sport Pilot license you can
train and add privileges to operate other
category and classes of light sport aircraft
such as airplane or gyroplane. And should
you be interested in earning a higher-level
certificate, such as your private pilot certificate, the training you complete during this course
can all be credited towards that license.
The accelerated course consists of ground lessons, flight lessons, and the actual FAA required
written knowledge test and practical test (oral and flight). We manage these accelerated
courses with daily early morning group briefings and debriefings at the end of each day. We
hold evening “homework” to a minimum in order to keep you and our instructors refreshed for
each subsequent day’s training. The full Sport Pilot course has been organized in a 12-14 day
calendar. The solo course is typically four days. Due to the uncertainties of weather and to
allow for different learning paces this calendar is viewed as totally flexible. Essentially when
the weather allows we accelerate your in-flight time and when it doesn’t we accelerate your
ground lesson time. Your assigned instructor is with you for the entire nearly two weeks
allotted to accomplish the goal. The contract for the course also details our support to
complete your training should unforeseen circumstances prevent completion during the
scheduled time.
The course curriculum on the next page summarizes the requirements for completion. This will
include 10 hours of dual flight time with your instructor. All dual flights are in FAA Certified
Light Sport Trainers equipped with dual controls. You will also fly a total of five hours of solo
time during the course. Your solo time may be in a two-seat trainer or in one of our FAA
certified single seat trainers. The course includes four “stage checks” that provide for written
tests and extra time with your instructor to insure you are making comfortable progress and
preparing you for the next stage. The stage checks also provide you with one-on-one tutoring
to prepare you to pass your written knowledge test and the practical test. Furthermore, FAA
Sport Pilot Examiners are members of our staff and will actively participate in your training.
This will help you to build a positive relationship with the examiners and thus reduce the stress
of testing. Again we encourage you to take the course preparation seriously because the more
knowledge you can obtain before the course begins, the more you enjoy the experience.

Where Are We Located?
Our primary training facilities
include Arlington, Chelan,
Quincy, Spokane and
Vancouver Washington. We
have affiliates and training
locations in California, Utah,
Arizona, Idaho and Montana.
The Seattle Flight Training
Center where we conduct our
accelerated training courses is
located at the Arlington Airport,
Arlington, Washington. The
airport is located at the foot of
the Pacific Cascade Mountains
and situated just east of the
shores of Puget Sound.
Arlington Airport, Seattle Powerchutes Flight Center
Arlington is conveniently
located about ½ Hour north of Seattle Washington. The airport has a dedicated ultralight area
that provides wide open areas in which to safely train. The surrounding area provides
incredible territory to fly over and you will certainly enjoy your cross-country training with flights
to Puget Sound and back.
The Seattle Powerchutes Flight Center is situated directly in front of the ultralight field. This
makes managing our training even more convenient for everyone. There is no need to haul
equipment anywhere. We just open the
hangar doors each morning and begin
your training experience.
If you want to camp out at the airport,
please let us know ahead of time so we
can reserve you a space. Check out
the following pages of information and
explore the active links for lodging and
other information about the airport and
surrounding areas.
