Sporty’s is celebrating IFR Month this February, a four-week focus on the challenges and rewards of instrument flying. We'll be hosting interactive webinars, publishing numerous IFR articles, and offering limited time savings on essential products for instrument flying. The goal is to encourage pilots to earn their instrument rating, get current, enjoy more utility from their pilot certificate—and have fun #cloudsurfing. READ MORE 2.
