ASA has teamed up with renowned sport aviation expert Paul Hamilton to produce Sport Pilot: Choosing the Light-Sport Aircraft that's Right for You, a training DVD that explains and defines ultralights and LSA. It provides parameters to evaluate your situation and the factors to consider, and an overview and introduction to each of the light-sport aircraft types.
