IFR Communications (Dual disc-DVD and Audio CD)
Accepted for FAA Wings Credit click here
Buckle up and join Sporty’s on three exciting instrument flights featuring pilots of various experience levels flying and communicating in the IFR system. More than just a rehash of basic radio procedures, this program gives today’s instrument pilot a real-world look at IFR communications through all phases of flight in a variety of airspace. The action-packed flights take place in a Cessna Skyhawk equipped with VOR navigation, a Garmin G1000-equipped Cessna Skylane and a twin-engine Piper Aztec with an MFD including GPS, traffic and datalink weather. We’ll visit several airports, including rural non-towered airports and the high-density LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. Experience the unique challenges each flight presents and see how the pilots effectively manage all available resources to complete each mission. Also included are sections designed to refresh your knowledge of basic IFR communications, plus a review of communication procedures during emergencies. IFR Communications will make you a better instrument pilot regardless of experience and help make your next flight smoother and safer. Dual disc (DVD video on one side, audio CD on the other) allows you to listen to the entire program in your car, or watch it on a TV or computer. (49 min.) Outside the United States? - Sporty's DVDs have all DVD regions enabled and play on almost all DVD players (NTSC or PAL); consult your owner's manual for more information. Closed Captioning not functional on PAL DVD players. Attention International Students! Sporty's IFR Communications DVD has printed subtitles or captions (sometimes called under-titles). These captions are very useful for students whose first language is not English, as many students more effectively assimilate new material when it's presented in both verbal and written form.

Date - 3-31-2008 Rating - Private Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No |  Video was shipped in a timely manner and arrived in good condition. The DVD worked as advertised. ConsIt may have been my erroneous expectations, but I had hoped for a little more cockpit to ATC education. There were several things in the video that I didn't expect and I think it took away from the main focus of the video (at least what I thought I was getting), which was voice comms between pilots and controllers. Also, it would have been better if the DVD followed one particular flight from start to finish rather than jumping around between the three scenarios.

Date - 3-13-2008 Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Enjoyed the multifacet aspect of the DVD. Not only a CD that I can listen while on the road. The fact that it took three different flights from 3 common GA IFR scenarios and walked the viewer through the strategy to get through the flight under IFR conditions. ConsNo bonus feature. General CommentsA bonus feature could improve the information on this DVD such as web links to informational sites about IFR communication. Maybe even ASF's safety courses or Sporty's IFR quiz bank. |
Date - 3-4-2008 Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Some educational value the first viewing, but not much. ConsIt's not a learning tool beyond watching once. Richard Collins' series have a lasting value, and one can continue to learn. General CommentsI wasted my money on this. |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI expected more radio conversations and what to expect to hear from ATC. |
| Great to have both CD and DVD Cons Should be on separate disc ( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 11-30-2007 Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This has been a very enjoyable way to get back into the swing of IFR communications; I would recommend this cd to anyone. ConsNone. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 11-18-2007 Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I liked that it showed three different types of flying in IFR conditions. Additonally, I was glad to see the variances that can be requested from ATC when weather conditions required a different course. ConsIt is a lot of money for a small bit of knowledge.
