Date - 3-18-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The ability to jump directly to the subject that you want to revise ConsNone General CommentsDoes exactly what it says on the tin!!!! Ordered this item to be delivered to Kabul, Afghanistan so I could prepare for my PPL on return to the UK. Fantastic product |
Date - 1-27-2010 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Have watched about 1/4 of the DVD. What I expected, both some additional hints and talks about how to think as a pilot, not just what to think ConsNone General CommentsGood refresher or to learn some new tricks |
Date - 1-13-2010 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | A great collection of information on real world flying. Very good production quality and enough actual flying footage to keep the viewer engaged in the subject matter. Richard Collins casual narrative style is very accessible and suits the subject matter quite well. The content is suitable for new pilots wanting more than the content contained in the required FAA study material and is a great refresher for experienced pilots.

Date - 7-2-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I'm a new pilot with my first plane (182Q). It has some upgraded electronics, 530/430 gps, engine monitor, etc. For me, the tapes have been great! They cover weather, gps's single engine, multi engine, IFR and more. All area's that I wish to continue my training. For a new pilot I have found the DVD's very helpful.

| Good advice on most all subjects relevant for GA. ConsWould like more video footage and fewer repetitions of scenes. General CommentsI have watched 2 out of the 9 DVDs I bought. Worth every single cent I paid for. Entertaining and enlightning. |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI'm glad I got them all they reminded alot that I forgot and I learned some things I did'nt know. Thank so much!! |
Date - 3-5-2009 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Lots of different subject matter covered. Cons My two big gripes with the set as a whole are: Overall I'd give the videos a 6.5/10. They are a bit hit or miss. When they miss, it's because I was hoping for more substance to the material, more meat. |

Date - 1-26-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Turning just 71 years old on 12/26/08, & w/ a young man's spirit wanting to learn how to fly this year, I'm confident that these DVD's will be most helpful. I fully intend to purchase the "Private Pilot" series once I pass my medical. ( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

| Collins makes these both educational and fun to watch. They contain good technical content, excellent in-flight video, and clear audio. Collins has a calm and reassuring narrative style, even adds occasional humor. Very enjoyable. ConsNone General CommentsThese are DVDs - it will be years before I know about their durability or reliability. But they are off to a good start! |
Date - 9-10-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The best part is that (unlike unfolding events in the cockpit of a plane in flight) you can pause and/or rewind particular scenes to be sure that you understand what was explained. You can also pause the scene to take a longer look if there is something visual to take a closer look at, or ponder for a moment, such as a section of a GPS operating manual, an instrument cluster showing a particular aircraft attitude and configuration, or the display of a particular instrument (such as a GPS or autopilot) when set in a particular way or used for a particular purpose. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI have now watched about 15 of the 33 titles. All were excellant and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Each title was worth about 5 to 10 hours of in-cockpit experience with a CFI/CFII. The programs provide an excellant, and very inexpensive way, to gain significant experience at understanding how various pieces of equipment function, how to interpret what they say, how to use them safely and to fullest advantage, and to learn which stick and rudder skill to apply when. |
Date - 9-4-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great video series that is really practical and covers a lot of subjects. As a recent private pilot, they help fill a lot of the experience gaps. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
