If you fly ultralight or light-sport — whether that's a powered paraglider, a trike, a fixed-wing, or anything else under FAR Part 103 — ASC exists to back you up. We're a volunteer-run, tax-exempt non-profit. Nobody here draws a salary. Every dollar goes toward programs that keep pilots flying legally, safely, and affordably.
We've been at this since 1994. That's three decades of tandem exemptions, peer reviews, and pilot ratings issued to the people who make up this community.
We know the regulatory landscape - we live in it.
Pay once. Your ASC rating doesn't expire. It's printed right on your card — no internet lookup required to verify it.
Instructors, you know how fast those add up elsewhere. With ASC, there are none. Teach without watching the meter run.
ASC has operated tandem exemptions longer than any other organization in this space — and we consistently have the most instructors under exemption.
We don't require it. If you decide you want it, we can point you in the right direction. Your choice, not ours.
We maintain an efficient, cost-effective peer review process that meets FAA requirements without the overhead.
