Vancouver, WA - July 18, 2005 LaserGrade today announced a new agreement with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), the world's largest recreational aviation membership association with over 170,000 members. As part of this agreement, the two organizations will develop joint marketing efforts intended to increase the volume of Sport Pilot testing in LaserGrade test centers and to inform pilots of the many benefits EAA provides to its membership. A new benefit being offered to EAA members under this agreement is a $5 discount on the price of all FAA tests taken at LaserGrade centers.

The Experimental Aircraft Association is a growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. EAA was founded in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through the decades, the organization has expanded its mission to include various types of aircraft such as antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic, ultralights, helicopters and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

Some projections indicate that, within one to two years, there may be as many as 30,000 to 50,000 Sport Pilot tests administered each year.

LaserGrade, with over 1,000 computer-based testing centers across the United States and Canada, including 30 international sites, is the largest US owned and operated network in North America. LaserGrade is one of only two computer-based testing companies authorized by the Federal Government to administer all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airman Knowledge Tests.

"We are pleased and excited to be working with EAA on this membership program," said LaserGrade President and CEO Judith Moore. "This opportunity comes at a great time for members, many of whom will be taking the new Sport Pilot knowledge exams in the coming months."

LaserGrade, with over 1,000 computer-based testing centers across the United States and Canada, including 30 international sites, is the largest United States owned and operated network in North America. Headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, with a satellite office in Newtown, Pennsylvania, LaserGrade offers proctored computer-based test administration for licensure and certification examinations using its own secure network and software. For lower stakes testing, such as practice tests, pre-tests or after-tests, candidates may test via any computer by logging on to LaserGrade's secure web-browser.
