Takeoffs and Landings
Polish off your skills on the two most exhilarating aspects of flying—takeoffs and landings. This video goes in depth to explore the different types of takeoffs and landings and the factors that affect their outcome. In-flight footage puts you in the cockpit for a pilot’s eye view of the different techniques and methods for smooth, safe operation. More than just crosswind techniques, this program thoroughly covers slips, crabs, no-flap landings, emergencies, and recoveries from not-so-great approaches and bounces. The section on maximum performance takeoffs and landings will show you how to safely operate from soft or short fields. State-of-the-art 3D graphics give insight into performance characteristics and help to reinforce key topics. This video will help you maintain your takeoff and landing proficiency—great for students, instructors, and experienced pilots alike.

Flight Review
Prepare for your next flight review with this instructional program from Sporty’s Academy. Sporty’s presents such topics as regulations, weather reports and forecasts, airspace, aeromedical factors, aeronautical charts, and airport signs and markings. Everything you should know to impress your instructor and complete the ground portion of your upcoming flight review with flying colors. Also makes a great refresher for pilots who have been away from flying for awhile and just need some brushing up. Attention CFIs: this program is a great way to make sure your students receive over an hour of information essential to a good flight review.

Airspace and Weather Format Review
These informative programs—now completely revised and updated—make a great introduction to or review of the National Airspace System and the Weather Formats in use today. With 3-D graphics and animation, this comprehensive program demystifies the complex types of airspace in use today. Describes and explains the various classes of airspace, their operating rules, dimensions and charting symbols. Examples are given for each class of "alphabet" airspace as well as Special Use Airspace. Also includes invaluable sections on TFRs, national security areas, military intercept procedures and discusses the Washington, DC ADIZ and its laser-based Visual Warning System. This is essential information for all pilots. Weather Format takes you step by step through the ICAO weather formats and abbreviations of METARs and TAFs. Learn to read and interpret aviation weather reports and extract additional clues they provide about atmospheric conditions. Also covers the basics of ASOS and AWOS reports and includes an interactive on-screen weather decoder that puts over 1,500 weather contractions at your fingertips. Lists contractions for METARs, TAFs, PIREPs and much more.

Pilot’s Guide to Runway Safety
Runway incursions can happen to pilots of any experience level and at any airport—staying “current” on ground operations is essential. The latest DVD from Sporty’s will help you do that, going far beyond the basics in the AIM. It offers dozens of real world strategies for safer taxiing, a thorough review of airport signs and markings, and some sobering case studies of real accidents. Watch Pilot’s Guide to Runway Safety and you might be surprised by what you don’t know.
