Ground School from the comfort of your couch!
Overall 
ProsThe course is extremely easy to use! The bundle includes virtually everything you will need while you train as a student pilot and stuff you will use a lot even after you earn your certificate. Definitively a better option over the Non-Deluxe package.
ConsAt first, right after opening the package, you might be a bit confused as to
General CommentsI am extremely happy that I chose this DVD course! If you are like me, and you are not the read-a-lot-of-books type of student, this set is for you. Everything is explained in a way that makes sense! The hosts are TV-Ready personalities with very clear voice and diction and they are all real pilots with tons of experience! (I'd really love to meet these guys in person). There is a small 3-8 question quiz after each chapter to test what you've learned. Also, there's the option of taking all of the quizzes after you complete the DVD and it scores that test for you. That helped me determine wether I was ready for the next DVD or not. Finally, it comes with a code to study online at www.sportys.com/study where you have a bank of nearly 1,000 questions which you can use to study by chapter or take an FAA simulated test. After you finish yoru DVD's, and once you score 80% or more on 2 simulated tests, they automatically send you the required FAA endorsement, which is the point where I am at now. I am confident I will pass the FAA test, but I still want to wait until I score 90% or more in at least 2 test ;-) I hope my review helps, I purposely waited until after I finished the course to write it in order to give the details I expected to see in the reviews when I was first making the decision to buy it.

Date - 5-4-2011 Pilot Rating - Student Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Content appears to cover all the need to know items. Wait until you get your sylabus from your Instructor before you dive into everything. The bag is good construction and looks solid. Expect it to last for sometime. Love the DVD's. Recommend getting them. You may not always have access to the web to view so get the DVD option. ConsThe bag could be larger. All the materials do not fit easily into this size bag, expecially if you want to carry some personal items along with you in flight. I can't see a headset in the side pocket. It looks like it would be a tight fit with the rest of the bag filled up. General CommentsMy comments are based on my experience so far and may vary from others. I have 2.2 flight time so far and I am using what my Instructor tells me too. I will more than likely opt for a larger bag to carry my flashlights, jacket extra headset etc. |

Date - 2-16-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Excellent course so far. Very easy to follow, and the quiz questions are a good review. I am pleased, still have some DVD's to get too!

Date - 9-17-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I found the DVD's to be enjoyable to watch and very informative.

Date - 3-31-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good value and an excellent way to get MOST of what you need for ground school. ConsThe syllabus does not reference the course materials very well so it is not easy determining exactly what to study for the next lesson and how what you read correlates to the videos. Also, the syllabus references "The Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge" and the book isn't even included in the kit. General CommentsAlthough touted as a complete kit, this kit is not complete and you will need to purchase "The Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge" in order to have all of the reference materials used by the syllabus. |
Date - 2-22-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | very sturdy well constructed, the dvd's are an excellent learning tool, the printed material is excellent also. Consthe bag is great for students there is room for all books and other things, it may be a little large after training completion, General CommentsI am really enjoying using the Sporty's private pilot training materials, they are in my opinion an excellent learning tool. |
