Stevensville, MD - Chesapeake Sport Pilot flight school has earned the first Vans RV-12 dealership in the United States. The new dealership agreement allows Chesapeake Sport Pilot to sell new, factory built, RV-12 aircraft to customers.

"The RV-12 is the most popular aircraft we have ever put on the flight line at Chesapeake Sport Pilot," explained CSP owner and Chief Flight Instructor Helen Woods. "Our customers love the roomy interior, huge baggage area, superb handling, excellent useful load, and stylish low-wing look. We are really excited to be able to offer this aircraft not only for rental but now for sale to our customers."

Van's is also confident about the new arrangement "Partnering with Chesapeake Sport Pilot will give customers a better opportunity to be introduced to the RV-12 locally. CSP is a great fit because they can offer the whole range of services for the RV-12: from flight training and rentals to maintenance and flight reviews." commented Kaitlyn Tepe of Van's Aircraft. "They display the same commitment to quality in their training that we put into our aircraft - and it shows! Chesapeake Sport Pilot was recognized by AOPA as one of the top flight schools in the country with the 2014 OutstandingFlightSchool award."

"We are also excited to be able to share our success with the RV-12 with other flight schools who are looking to replace or upgrade their fleet with an economical, modern trainer," explained Woods. "As the largest and most successful light sport flight school in the country Chesapeake Sport Pilot has been in the unique position of having had the opportunity to try out many makes and models of LSA's in our fleet over the years. We have learned what characteristics an LSA needs to provide to work in a business. We love the RV-12 as it excels in the areas most critical to a flight school including offering an excellent useful load, low operating costs, superb support, and inexpensive, readily available parts."

Chesapeake Sport Pilot is the nation's largest light sport flight school. CSP has provided more than 20,000 hours of light sport flight instruction over the past eight years and was recognized in 2014 as one of the top ten flight schools of any kind in the nation by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
