Date - 1-4-2010 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The information was clear, current and correct. ConsThe content was more technical than I expected. Still, I think that my wife (a non-pilot) was able to understand. General Comments I was pleased with the fact that my wife was able to sit down with the DVD and the booklet for an hour, then talk to me about how to land. She also knew which frequency to tune in an emergency! |

Date - 7-22-2009 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Clear and simple DVD and book Cons A little over-simplified in some areas, too much detail in others. Purchased for my wife who's primary fear is heights. While it didn't address her speficic needs, she says it did help her understand more about what is going on. |

Date - 3-25-2009 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to use and understand ConsIt explains one or two things in an overly simplified manner that is suitable for non-pilots but not for pilots. General CommentsIt's great tool to use for everybody. Helps pilots and non-pilots alike to understand the airplane systems in a very simplified and straight forward way. I've shown the DVD to several non-pilot friends and they love it. |

Date - 8-11-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great when purchased with workbook. Nice way to explain to passengers the in's and out's of it all. We bought it for a "not too happy to fly" passenger and it did the trick. ConsWould have been a bit nicer to have the workbook more of a true workbook than just a partner book. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

ConsCould be updated for the DVD format to add use of some of DVD's interactive features. General CommentsExcellent if you have one of those passengers that is nervous to fly and give explanations while you could be doing flight planning. |

Date - 2-26-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The video was exactly what I needed for my non-pilot passenger. They were able to follow and comprehend the information presented and can now apply it to flights we make. Combining the video with the AOPA web pinch hitter works very well together! My non-pilot reviewer indicated that about 2/3 of the way through the first viewing the information became overwhelming. Multiple viewings make the information much more understandable. General CommentsVery well made! The text that accompanies the video is put together very well and is a great part of the package. |
