    Pros

    Very Good information, Well laid out and put together to flow nicely with the graphics

    Cons

    The 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 Comments

    I'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.

    Too long and too specific for R22 preflight; useless for Schweizer pilots.
    Did not discuss requirements for initial or add-on licenses.
