From 2019 (YouTube Edition): Sporty’s Is More Than Just a Pilot Shop Sporty’s is well known for their line of products for pilots, having been a part of the aviation landscape for decades. But less-well known is the company’s in-airplane flight training, according to Sporty’s Academy president and COO Eric Radtke, who spoke recently with Aero-News Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell. Sporty’s says that the Academy is committed to its students success, and is proud of a success rate more than double the national average. Sporty’s credits this success to its modular approach to flight training, employing the right tools to ensure educational quality and effectiveness, and its dedication to making the pilot training experience fun and customer-centric.
