Sporty's Complete Private Pilot Course--Online
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
Includes:
Now includes mobile video upgrade! Your purchase of Sporty's Online Course also gives you free access to the mobile-optimized version. You can watch every video segment on your iPad, iPhone, Android or Blackberry. There's even an option to view Hi Res or Low Res versions of the video, ideal for switching between WiFi and 3G connections. Mobile version does not include test prep, maneuvers, Training Course Outline or PTS Study Guide--these features must be accessed from the Online Course, and do not work on mobile devices. Attention Flight Instructors You, the local instructor, are Sporty’s training partner. Sporty’s Courses will enhance your business by providing the tools and resources for effective and professional presentations. The comprehensive video segments follow your students’ training throughout all of their lessons, with a strong focus on flight lessons. This means they will arrive for each lesson prepared, and you’ll spend less time reviewing. Plus, our Training Course Outline gives you a detailed, lesson-by-lesson syllabus and a permanent record of training. Plus, the PTS Study Guide cross-references every element of the PTS to the video segments. Add your instructional expertise for a complete flight training experience. What Format Should I Choose? Both the DVD and the online version include the exact same video segments, test prep software and books. The DVD Course is great for watching on your large screen TV, and includes long-lasting hard copies of the books. The Online Course is ideal for those who travel, as you can use the full course anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection--there is no software to install. You also have automatic access to any updates; when a new video segment is added, you get it free and automatically. Finally, the online courses also include a Maneuvers Guide that shows all the required maneuvers for the checkride, complete with completion standards and tips. Both versions work on Windows (including 7) or Mac. Approved for FAA Wings Credit Fly at Sporty's Academy Stop dreaming and start flying at Sporty’s world headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You will of course need a FAR/AIM reference book and I found printing out the summary of the airspace rules for study a big help. Don't hesitate to view the areas that don't seem to stick with you several times. The practice tests are a big help as well. I got an 85 on my test which is about what I had been doing on the practice tests. Conscould use a few more memory aids thrown in to help you retain the information better. Sometimes developing your own is the best way to remember anyhow. Only had one issue with the internet version of the class. It came up one evening and did not recognize my password and that I should call in. The next day everything returned to normal so I never did have to call. General CommentsHighly recommend. |

I like the test sections as well. ConsVery disappointed that I was not able to get the book material that is offered in the deluxe kit as an add-on. Also I was hoping that there would be more lessons to prepare me for the test. The flight maneuvers section is a waste since there isn't audio to go with it. General CommentsI have been asked by other student pilots about this product and I am having a difficult time recommending it. With that said, there seems to be an overall shortfall of good cbt material in general aviation at this level. |
