Flying opens up a world of adventure, whether it’s an epic flight to Alaska or a $100 hamburger run to a nearby airport restaurant. Now Sporty’s and Flight Outfitters want pilots to share their favorite adventure, and get entered to win a grand prize package worth over $400, plus other prizes for weekly winners.

The all-new Flight Gear Backup Battery for iPad is the pilot’s answer for charging mobile devices on the flight deck. This battery packs 20,000mAh, but its slim shape will fit in any flight bag. Two 3 amp USB ports deliver enough power to charge multiple iPads at the same time while those iPads are being used by the pilots.
Pilots can now take full advantage of Sporty’s flight training syllabi in the Flight Schedule Pro (FSP) system – a leading flight school management platform. Both instructors and students can track flight training progress and maintain records electronically after choosing “Sporty’s” within FSP’s student training module.

Today Sporty’s introduced Stratus 3, the latest generation of aviation’s best selling and most trusted weather receiver. Over the last six years, pilots have logged millions of hours with Stratus in everything from antique taildraggers to military fighter jets, using it to make smarter in-flight decisions. The new model includes popular features like subscription-free weather, dual band ADS-B traffic, GPS, and backup attitude information, plus additional app options and a new low price.
Sporty’s presence at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has increased again for 2018. Sporty’s tent is bigger than last year and will provide a unique and interactive Oshkosh shopping experience for attendees. Located outside Hangar B in Outdoor Space #260, Sporty’s will set up its Oshkosh retail store chock full of products to see and try and buy.
When Sporty’s released its enhanced Pilot Training app last year, it was designed to keep all training courses organized in one location with room to grow. Now Sporty’s has added new aircraft transition courses to this app so that transitioning to gliders, helicopters, multiengine airplanes and seaplanes are now included.
Most pilots have a favorite sectional chart that brings back good memories of times gone by or wonderful flying adventures. Now Sporty’s Wright Bros. Collection can turn a pilot’s favorite sectional into a variety of useful and stylish products.
Sporty’s Pilot Shop has added the flyGIRL line of products to its offerings. This all-new line includes tote bags, sport caps, and an array of t-shirts and polo shirts. But flyGIRL is not just for women: flyGIRL offers men’s polos as well for those men who want to show their support of women aviators.
