Date - 9-2-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial Overall Durability Reliability  Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Considering the costs of flying, for the price of about three hours of dual time with an instructor, you get a vast amount of information given by one of the top instructors in the whole country. I've been teaching flying for 29 years and when I get a chance to see to how Dick Collins thinks and approaches aviation, I listen up. You have to be knowledgeable and proficient to be a good pilot but to really feel safe and professional and actually use your airplane, the most important aspect is not how well you fly but how well you think about flying. You will learn a lot from Mr Collins. I did and it's a great set to own and watch over and over. I'm going to buy the advanced weather set next. Thanks Dick and Sporty's for such an excellent product! ConsPerhaps it is my player,or just the operator (me) but on my laptop, I had trouble stopping the dvd and rewinding when I wanted to hear an important statement or comment over again without watching the entire program. A couple of times, the video stopped and it took me several seconds to realize that the audio had run ahead of the video. General CommentsRod Machado was talking about wanting to learn to be a good magician once. He said the secret was to find a really good magician and simply do like he did, copy his moves and mimic his behaviors. If you can try and mimic a really good pilot and instructor like Dick Collins, you will profit from his wisdom which I promise you, wasn't gained easily or in a few years...try a lifetime of experience which he gives to you in a casual, informative way that is definitely not boring like some ground school tape. The IFR section is priceless to those whom have little actual experience in weather. I'm recommeding this series to everyone I fly with, old and new pilots alike will enjoy it. Just go buy it! |

Date - 4-23-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The air facts are excellent. Having viewed Dick Collins previously in Sporty's private pilot course and VFR Communications DVD, I knew what I was going to get.

Date - 11-15-2007 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The CD Bundle is very informative and Dick Collins is a very knowledgable pilot. ConsWhile I respect Dick's knowledge, he tends to be a little too wordy, hoakey, and jokey. My grandfather, a pilot, would have probably loved that about him.
