    Pros

    Accurate, well done and enjoyable to watch

    Cons

    Very light on content for the price. Frankly really not worth the price and I have viewed many such DVD's in other areas of training and education.
    Very suprising since Avaition is a information loaded profession.

    Pros

    I love these dvds. My instructor would teach me a lot of this stuff while flying but I needed something to actually review at my own pace on my own time. This goes really in depth and my instructor noticed my improvement after I started watching the dvds. Highly recommend this to anyone who is starting to fly or for those student pilots who want to perfect their skills.

    Cons

    Nothing.
