Any Sport Pilot flight training available in North Texas, DFW area? Every school I call isn't doing it anymore.

[darowden]

I have been trying to find a school that does Sport Pilot in the McKinney, Texans area, or anywhere within 100 miles of McKinney (it's north of Dallas), but every school I call, despite showing up in a search for Sport Pilot flight training, says they only do Private Pilot, commercial or ATP. Does anyone have any information on any flight training in North Texas for Sport pilot? Starting to think its becoming unpopular to train sport pilots? Maybe not profitable enough? Any tips would be helpful.

Thanks!

Dave

There’s not significant money in it.
Go look at the numbers to buy something like the Texas Colt, figure out hangar and insurance and operating expenses, and then figure out how many sport pilots you’d need to train per year to break even.
