Sporty's Private Pilot Course, Part 1 (Recreational certificate)--DVD
Aviation Consumer's "Gear of the Year!"
Save Time and Money with our Triple Guarantee! Pass all 3 tests or get your money back: written test, oral exam and flight test Learning to fly will unlock a world of possibilities and give you unparalleled freedom to see the world. To earn your license, you must pass three FAA tests: the knowledge (or written) test, an oral interview with an examiner, and a flight test (or checkride). Sporty’s courses will help you pass all three of these tests with flying colors, plus give you the real world tips you need after you earn your license. At Sporty’s, we operate our own flight school, so we know your time and money are precious. That’s why our courses were developed to save you both. This is not a weekend “cram course.” It is comprehensive home study companion to your flight training, and it will make your lessons more efficient, more fun and more complete. Just add flight instructor! The Sporty’s Difference
"If you just watch the videos, you'll save many hours of instruction AND you'll pass your written, oral and flight exams." --Hal Shevers, CFII Founder/Chairman, Sporty's Pilot Shop About our modular flight training courses Sporty's courses break your training into three manageable steps: the first solo flight, the Recreational certificate and the Private certificate. This building-block approach to flight training will save you time and money, and you'll have a lot more fun. Get started for just $115, and you'll have everything you need for your first 30 hours of flying--including your first solo flight and Recreational checkride. To continue on to the Private certificate, use Part 2 to complete the course. Attention Flight Instructors You, the local instructor, are Sporty’s training partner.

Excellent flight training program. I am into volume two of the recreational pilot training program. Rob and Richard cover every subject completely in detail. The format is easy to follow. So far, have been able to score 100 on the 1st and 2nd tests with a minimal review of the course subjects. My first two attempts put me in the 90's range with ease. I intend to review the course multiple times to clarify use of the E6B computer and ploting courses. Also, this has been accomplished without any instruction or training. Because of your course, I am confident that when I step into a cockpit, the flight controls and airplane will seem like old friends. Also Rob does a great job of explaining the complexities density altitude. For now, I will say goodby and move onto volume three.
Sincerely,
Harvey
None: Your course is worth triple the price.

We previously bought the Sporty's Pinch Hitter Course and the Recreational course is the next step. Although she has not taken the full course I have skimmed through it and it is exactly what I expected and it is of very high quality. As I said we have not yet reviewed the whole course, however the last DVD "Pinch Hitter" would not consistently play in our regular DVD player. It had portions that had some digital distortion. By changing DVD/computer players we were able to work around the problems. I trust we will not run into the same situation with this course. General CommentsLove your products and service. |
