"The Future of Flight Training Has Landed."
Elevating Flight Training
Welcome to the Next Generation of Aviation at Fly Around Arkansas
The future of flight training has arrived.
At Fly Around Arkansas, we believe learning to fly should happen in an aircraft that reflects the future of aviation—not the past. That's why we've expanded our fleet with the latest generation of Tecnam aircraft, bringing world-class engineering, advanced avionics, and exceptional performance to every lesson.
This isn't just another trainer. It's an entirely new training experience.
Fly the Aircraft of Tomorrow
From the moment you step into the cockpit, you'll understand why Tecnam has become one of the fastest-growing aircraft manufacturers in the world.
At the heart of every aircraft is the Garmin G3X Touch Integrated Flight Deck—a sophisticated, all-glass avionics suite that delivers crystal-clear flight information, GPS navigation, engine monitoring, traffic awareness, and an intuitive touchscreen interface.
It's the same level of technology today's pilots expect in modern personal and professional aircraft, giving our students a significant advantage from the very first lesson.
Learning with advanced avionics doesn't just make flying easier—it builds confidence, sharpens situational awareness, and prepares you for the aircraft you'll fly throughout your aviation career.
Designed Around the Pilot
Every detail of the Tecnam has been engineered with the pilot in mind.
The panoramic canopy provides exceptional visibility, creating an open cockpit environment that inspires confidence while enhancing safety. Ergonomic seating, responsive controls, and balanced handling make every flight comfortable, enjoyable, and precise.
Whether you're learning basic maneuvers or mastering instrument procedures, the aircraft feels refined, predictable, and incredibly rewarding to fly.
European Engineering. World-Class Performance.
Designed and built in Italy, Tecnam aircraft are recognized worldwide for their innovation, efficiency, and craftsmanship.
Powered by the legendary Rotax 912 iS Sport engine, these aircraft combine remarkable reliability with outstanding fuel efficiency. Electronic fuel injection, digital engine management, and modern engine monitoring systems provide smooth, dependable performance while introducing students to today's latest powerplant technology.
It's a smarter, cleaner, and more advanced approach to flight training.
Training That Prepares You for Your Future
The aviation industry continues to evolve, and the aircraft you train in should evolve with it.
Our Tecnam fleet allows students to develop the skills employers, flight schools, and modern aircraft owners value:
- Advanced Garmin G3X Touch glass cockpit technology
- Integrated engine monitoring and digital systems

Sport Pilot Just Got Even Better
The New Sport Pilot Rules Are Opening More Doors Than Ever
For years, the Sport Pilot Certificate has been one of aviation's best-kept secrets—a faster, more affordable way to experience the freedom of flight. Now, with the FAA's modernization of the Sport Pilot rules under the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) initiative, becoming a pilot is set to become even more accessible and exciting.
At Fly Around Arkansas, we're excited about what these changes mean for current and future pilots.
What Is a Sport Pilot Certificate?
A Sport Pilot Certificate allows you to fly light aircraft for personal recreation while requiring fewer training hours than a Private Pilot Certificate.
It's an excellent option for pilots who want to:
- Fly for fun
- Travel locally and regionally
- Share aviation with family and friends
- Begin an aviation journey at a lower cost
- Build confidence before pursuing additional ratings
What's Changing?
The FAA's updated Sport Pilot regulations are designed to expand opportunities while maintaining a strong focus on safety.
Some of the expected benefits include:
- Access to a broader range of modern aircraft that qualify for Sport Pilot operations.
- More flexibility in aircraft design and certification through updated Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) standards.
- Increased availability of advanced training aircraft equipped with modern glass cockpits and safety features.
- More opportunities for pilots to enjoy newer, higher-performing aircraft while operating within Sport Pilot privileges, subject to the final regulations and aircraft eligibility.
These changes represent one of the biggest advancements in recreational flying in decades.
Modern Aircraft for Modern Pilots
Today's Light Sport Aircraft are a far cry from the basic trainers of the past.
Aircraft like the Tecnam feature:
- Advanced Garmin glass cockpit avionics
- Comfortable, spacious cabins
- Excellent visibility
- Fuel-efficient Rotax engines
- Modern safety features
- Outstanding handling characteristics
Training in these aircraft gives Sport Pilots experience with technology found throughout today's general aviation fleet.
Is Sport Pilot Right for You?
The Sport Pilot Certificate may be an excellent fit if you want to:
- Earn your pilot certificate quickly
- Reduce the overall cost of training
- Fly recreationally
- Explore aviation without committing to a professional career
- Experience the freedom of personal flight in modern aircraft
Many pilots choose Sport Pilot as their first certificate and later continue on to Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, and Certified Flight Instructor ratings.
