Why Sanford sits well for training
Two home fields within half an hour means a weather day or a scheduling clash does not automatically cost a lesson.
Both fields are non-towered, so the pattern work that fills the early hours happens without a queue.
Sport Pilot is trained here as a full path, which is often the right answer for someone who does not want to start with a medical certificate.
