Date - 11-1-2011 Pilot Rating - Student Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Sporty's Comlete Private Pilot Course The video lessons are clear and well thought out. I bought this course to 're-do' my ground school to finish my private pilot license that are started 10 years ago. It has met that purpose very well. The questions are relevant and to the point. ConsWhile the video tutorials are great, I would like to see some computer based training involved as well (not just DVD movie questions). Such as situational mini-simulations with what if scenarios built in. General CommentsThis is a great product that can help you get a good jump start on your private pilot license. Well worth the money when compared to how much you would be paying an instructor to teach you the same information; not to mention you can go back and review at any time. It is nice to be able to review flight technique and maneuvers before each flight lesson to get the most our of your time with the instructor. |

Date - 9-29-2011 Pilot Rating - Not a Pilot OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Well put together package, very professional looking. ConsWas not what I expected. Paid a lot of money for information. Reviewed/watched the first 3 DVDs and it did not train me on anything. Took some of the quizzes after each section and they did not follow that lesson and required you to know more than what they discussed. This is NOT a self-study program, you still have to go to ground school with an instructor to learn. General CommentsCustomer service was outstanding. I will definitely do business with Sporty's again. They are an excellent company/store this just was not what I was expecting. Again, the customer service was extremely friendly and helpful. No questions asked when returning items just explanations on how to return and courteous staff. |
Reviewer - Bill Sutherland Location - The Woodlands, TX Date - 9-28-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very GOOD product Great DVD quality. Easy to learn format and very informative. Customer service is fantastic... communication is a big and when they did not have the answer, they got one and called me back. Thanks Sporty's ConsAlthough very helpful, the online study buddy test prep is a little cumbersome. had to keep logging out and back on to continue, thus why the lower reliability rating. I notified customer service about this problem, perhaps they will address the issue. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) Sporty's ResponseThanks for the comments. We're working on the online test prep and you'll get the latest version automatically. |

I usually get bored with training videos and daydream through half of them. These keep you interested. |
Location - Camby, IN Date - 8-26-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Streamline your training This product was easy to order and delivered quickly. I got it before my next flying lesson and was able to review it with my instructor ConsIn my situation my instructor is using his own Syllabus and I really don't need that product. It might be nice if you could just order the DVDs by themselves. General Comments This product is great. Prior to starting my flight training I looked for a product like this. I was hoping to find a product that I could work on prior to starting training so when I started training I would get more out of the lessons. I had looked at this product but didn't understand all that it offered. I decided to go ahead and start training and my instructor suggested I purchase this program to help studying on my own. This product is great for that. The DVDs are the highest quality! The information is exactly the same as my instructor teaches, and he has never watched the videos. I would recommend this product to anyone interested in learning to fly. |
Date - 8-25-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsThe weather section has too much precise information in too short a period of time, making it difficult to learn. Your presenter is very knowledgeable but a fast talker. He had a lot of very technical information to present in his a short period of time, and i wonder if his presentsation could be made more |
| The videos put you right in the cockpit. ConsHave to make time to watch the videos. General Comments I received my commercial, instrument, multi-engine, and CFI ratings 30 years ago, and haven't flown as PIC for many years. However, I have recently begun flying again. Back then, we only had the classroom and books to learn the material from, so the Private Pilot Course DVD's are really an exciting way to learn, or re-learn this material. |

Date - 7-18-2011 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsI have used several of the King courses in the past and decided to try Sporty's course this time as I was using the course for my grandson's private pilot ground. I participated in the courses with him for refresher and although the information was all there, I did not like the presentation, which was not always in a logical order, and was lite on the real details. There was generally insufficient problem solving work. I'm going back to King videos in the future. General CommentsI was very disappointed in the young eagles online course. The server was so slow, it could not be used for study purposes. I had to buy my grandson the videos. I work at home online for a the top telecommunications company in the world so I have a good broadband connection. |
Date - 7-14-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | very happy with DVD so I can take it on the "road" to study. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
