    Solid information as best as I can tell. What you would expect from Ohio: solid and no hidden agenda.

    None.

    Great way to learn - for my learning style. You have to like to listen and rerun it. Repetitio est mater studiorum (defunct language, before Garmin).

    I watched the DVD and played with the software the day before my all day G1000 checkout. Even with the short prep time on my end, this video and software put me ahead of the game which allowed the instructor to whiz by some of his company's 'requirements'. My actual checkout was a breeze due to just a little prep time with this product. Though VFR utilization of the G1000 is very simple now, I'll still reference the DVD and software to refresh myself on loading approaches or SID and STARs. If you are new to the G1000, this product will make you a more confident pilot out of the chute.

    The CD-ROM will not work on certain computers using Vista 64 bit. I had the same problem with King instructional videos.

    A good overview for the G1000, well narrated.

    Cons

    Crappy video quality. For the price, I would have expected a picture for viewing. Even with my High Definition monitor set to a high resolution, the picture was blurry. This washed out much of the detail.
