VFR Communications (DVD)
Approved for FAA Wings Credit click here Every pilot worries about communications. With this comprehensive new program, you can sound like a seasoned pro. Features:
Packed with nearly an hour of high quality video, and produced in widescreen format. In addition to the video, this also includes an MP3 audio file, so you can listen to the audio portion of the program on the go. 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 VFR 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.

Covers the automated weather reporting and other channels which must be monitored before entering controlled airspace. Many of these services didn't exist when I last flew 20 years ago; there simply isn't the relaxed atmosphere which existed in the less crowded skies of the past.

Through playback one can build his/her skill in VFR communications. The program does put you in the VFR environment with respect to the phraseogoly being explained. ConsThe main drawback I find with this product is the lack of user interaction with the software. There is a lot of information on this DVD, and because of that the commentator must explain many concepts in a short amount of time: this results in me having to replay segments over and over. Still, its a good product but a little overpriced. General CommentsA good product with some limitations |
