ABOUT ART TAROLA
For over 35 years Art Tarola, having established himself as a major player in the aviation community and in many ways has sealed himself as a leader therein. Having built his first aircraft in 1981, a single seat experimental, he soon followed with building 2 more. He soon moved to building two Ultralight Trainers and began training people to fly ultralights. Art would then spend the next 17 years in ultralight training. However, he would soon find himself back in the shop working on his 6th aircraft an Aerobatic Experimental aircraft. The following year, Art began studying to earn a degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology and he didn’t stop there. With the emergence of the Sport Pilot certificate program, Art found himself again training to become a Certified Flight Instructor which he achieved in August of 2005. Since then, Art has seen over 200 people gain their Sport Pilot Certificate under his instruction. A year after he gained his CFI license, Art again began pursuing further certifications such as a Sport Pilot Examiner. A year thereafter, he became a Designated Flight Sport Flight Instructor Examiner. He now was not only training people to fly but was teaching others to teach which aligns with Arts life objective, “To Support the Light Sport Aviation Community by offering flight training, pilot examiner services, light sport aircraft sales, parts, and maintenance; to improving the safety record of experimental amateur-built and light sport aircraft through education in the areas of airworthiness and operations.” Art is also a proud member of NAFI, AOPA, EAA, LAMA, and FAASTeam Representative, “of which Art earned the title FAASTeam Rep of the Year in 2011”. Art is an importer of the Evektor line
