Date - 7-22-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsThis product I found to be useful towards basic comprehension of helicopter flight and other basic elements involved with it. I view this video more that the others that I have purchased. It is helpful. I am satisfied with. However, I was expecting more tutorial information for the price. |

Date - 5-7-2009 Pilot Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | It was updated from VHS to DVD and features some newer terminology and technologies. ConsIt was meant for someone who has absolutley no aviation experience. General CommentsThe video needs to give more info about the "nuts and bolts" of helicopter flying and not just a quick overview for the "layman". |
Date - 3-3-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Is does show the person the very basics of how to ... helicopters. ConsI really didn't see any Cons, as most of the details are learn through actual flight training. No Video can replace actual flying. General CommentsJust what I wanted to get in this DVD. How to the basics of flying helicopters, plus preflight. |
| Good inflight video and animations. Thorough preflight explanation of the R22. ConsDiscussion of lateral CG calculation was good, but then they showed an R44 loaded with two people up front and a third in the left rear seat offsetting the lateral CG further to the left. The liftoff was predictably right skid first and the pilot failed to maintain yaw control. This is a standard student pilot mistake that should have been edited out and replaced with footage using a competent pilot or used to discuss the dangers of improper weight distribution. General CommentsOld video had a section on X-C flight planning and inflight footage of an actual X-C included for the same price. Now you have to pay an additional $24.95 for that material. Try to find a used old video, it is a better value. As a helicopter CFI, I had high hopes for this update to the old video. I was disappointed. |
Date - 1-15-2009 Pilot Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good video, nice animation, and presentation ConsLack of detail, kind of slow at times General CommentsDescent video... For just brush the topics... definatly no replacement for book study... Need to watch and see manuevers in action |
Date - 11-19-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great up to date version of the original So you Want to fly Helicopters. Great explanations and illustrations for the student pilot as well as a review for a current pilot. ConsProduct originally had a skip in the DVD when out of the box. Corrected with cleaning using dish soap and smooth towel. General CommentsWould be nice to be able to download video as part of the purchase of the shipped DVD. |
Date - 11-12-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very informative, accurate, good sequence ConsNot long enough! General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 10-14-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Excellent introduction and explanation for person in operational support who is not a pilot. No negative observations. General CommentsRecommended for students and future aspirants. |
Date - 10-2-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | None ConsThis is not a training video, it is a video on how to preflight the R-22 with little other information. If the detail given to the preflight was given to a high-level conversation on helicopter aerodynamics, regulations specific to helicopters, training requirements, etc., then I may have a different opinion. Some of these topics were barely mentioned and are far more germain to begining to understand helicopter flight than the material presented. I also found the presenter very annoying with a condensending tone and bad jokes. Presentation is not engaging as I'm dying to earn a helicopter rating but, it took me three tries to stay awake through the whole video. This might be a good $15 video, but a rip-off at $50+$10 shipping. Wish I had not bought. General CommentsAwful video - do not buy. |
Date - 9-12-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good graphics and well presented by Rob Ryder. Up to date, not 5-10 years old like some other video products. ConsWould have been nice to have some quizzes at the end of each section, like the "What you should know series". General Commentsnone |
Date - 9-9-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very Good information, Well laid out and put together to flow nicely with the graphics ConsThe price Is a little high. I've found other videos of the same quality and just as good lay out but for only $29.99 General CommentsI'm a helicopter CFI and have my own flight school and will have my students watch this to help them better understand some areas due to the graphics. Some of my students that have seen this video like it because it is straight forward and easy to understand. I would recommend to any future helicopter pilot. |
