Does this mean that EAA’s support for the sport pilot and ultralight communities is diminishing?
Absolutely not! It moves coverage of sport pilot and light-sport aircraft to better reflect where that movement is today – incorporating itself into the mainstream of recreational aviation. Light-sport aircraft are becoming more numerous as training and personal airplanes, while sport pilot certificates now number in the thousands instead of the hundreds. It’s been a significant addition to the aviation community in just five years. EAA’s shift in its publication mix reflects sport pilot’s coming of age, if you will.
