    I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It took me a couple weeks to go through all the chapters in the Private Pilot path and am now working through the online study questions.

    I am very confident that the written will be a breeze and am working with my instructor to put together a plan to finish up lessons in order to schedule the practical.

    Pros

    Excellent format, easy to use, and feels like everything I need to learn is here. Lessons are presented in a non-condescending simple manner that make it easy to learn.

    Cons

    Maybe a blu-ray edition in the future, because we all love watching aircraft in flight.

    The DVDs are perfect for any student, being able to watch the different sections before the lessons and then reviewing after has been very helpful. They have made it so much easier to grasp what my instructor is trying to teach, because it is not the first time seeing or hearing the material. The DVDs are a great base to learn from, and make the time with your instructor much more productive.

    Excellent but needs to be updated!
    Pros

    Current info provided is good and well thought out.
    Easy to make sense out of the presentation.
    Lot of Cessna's, what about Pipers's and Mooney's?. Should I fly high wing or low wing? What is Sporty's trying to convey to the learning future astronaut?

    Cons

    The presentation is good, but only takes up 60% of my screen. Do the presentation in at least 720 or 1080. The DVD's already look out dated. Think of the trainee as in the year 2012! Keep striving for a better product. Still overall impressions are very good. The survey stinks! Questions are weak and and meaningless. What can Sporty's improve on with questions from that survey??????????????

    General Comments

    Overall,
    This is a very well thought out presentation that simplify's the flying experience! Much better than
    anything that is competitive, especially the King presentation! That duo puts me to sleep!
    Flying is a very unforgiving passion that needs to be taught well and with a serious and up to date format.
    Sporty's is the best from what i have seen! Stay on top of the competition or they will beat you!

    General Comments

    All I can say after being only on the second disk is, WOW! I used Cessna's online flight course for my Private Pilot's License and had a very rough time understanding the content completely. Being a busy junior in high school, I was looking for the easiest, most straight-forward learn to fly course on the market.The Cessna online learn to fly course cost me $300 and on top of that, I didn't feel confident at all after I completed it. I did not feel comfortable taking my written exam, oral exam, or even my practical test. I receive Sporty's flying magazines each month and last week I saw this learn to fly course advertised in the magazine I had just received in the mail. I did some more research on it, read about it on the Sporty's website, and saw that it received great reviews and the description matched exactly what I was looking for! So I ordered this course on the same day, Tuesday, for the special price of $200 and it was sitting in the mailbox Friday afternoon. Even though I'm only on the second disk, and I am proud to say that I am 100% satisfied so far. At the end of each discussion, it gives you the option to take a quiz that consists of only a couple question. Theses quizzes drilled the information into my head! There are so many real-world scenarios included in the disks and about 98% of it is filmed in or around airplanes so you can get a visual hands-on experience. I can actually say that I look forward to learning to fly now because Sporty's DVD Learn To Fly Course makes it much more fun and exiting than your typical course providers. I would recommend this product to anyone and trust me, if you purchase it, you will not be disappointed.

    I have only finished the first 3 disc of this video training set and am enjoying it so far. I have watched other training video's and they seem to cram way to much information into a short time. These videos seem to repeat what was previously explained and provide good examples. I guess the true test will come when I go take my written.
