Reviewer - ttompkins Date - 12-27-2011 Pilot Rating - Private Overall Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Great Beginner Learning Tool This is a great video to help learn the two most difficult phases of flight. I repeatidly watched it during my private pilot training and was able to grasp the techniques quicker in the cockpit, saving me money in additional flight training.

Reviewer - rbbertsch Location - Spokane, WA Date - 8-2-2011 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Sporty's Takeoffs and Landing I've had a Private since 1970 and Commercial/Inst since 1985 and then the layoff from private flying and found a great CFI and spent some dual and signed off my flight review. Felt safe to fly but landings were just OK. I found the video very useful especially since I fly (own 1/4) a C172E. I had been consisently high on final and the visuals help me make adjustments. My first passenger was my 28 y/o daughter and I had near perfect landings on a grass strip and my home airfield, KSFF. Worth the money and really a good review of all types of landings and how to correct mistakes. ConsReally none. A tad expensive and would be nice to be HD but all in all I made a good investment toward my flying. General Comments |
Date - 5-19-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I am a student pilot and have been working on my landings as I prepare for my first solo. This video was very helpful by allowing me to sit back and observe versus getting instruction as I am actually flying the plane. Although the techniques used in the video are not the same as my CFI teaches, the video was quite helpful. ConsNone that I can think of General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Date - 11-14-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The hardest part of getting back into flying after 25 years was landings. I orders this product to help. I probably watched it 5 or 6 times. It helped to get visual clues on where the airplane should be in relation to the runway. The video and graphics were well done. I purchased and downloaded to my computer. It was very easy. ConsIt was hard to control the playing of the file. A small construction. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
