Date - 5-25-2011 Pilot Rating - Private Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Helps with the communications basics when flying IFR within the system in a complex flight plan as well as in a basic setup (VOR only) equipped aircraft ConsThis doesn't really help a new pilot who is not used to the system, dealing with higher-stress communications as I had hoped. I was hoping a sort of ABC's of communication starting from the beginning, to the take off-en-route then approach in a more direct approach. This splits up the three different scenarios together, switching between one flight to another showing the similarities and differences of each, but never really focused on a start to finish overview. General Comments Really not all that bad. I learned a lot from this. I'm not a "born with avgas in my blood" pilot. I fly rarely, but am going through IFR training to increase my flying windows a bit to accommodate for longer and more complex flights in the future. This was a good start on how to work within the system and after a few reviews of this, I feel more confident in talking with ATC. |

Date - 10-11-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Liked the way the video was put together. Different types if IFR equipment and flight situations. ConsNot enough information around the general aviation IFR equipment. Used alot of modern equipment most general aviation pilots still don't have due to cost. General CommentsOverall a good video refresher and informational series. A little bit pricey |
Date - 10-10-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsIt would be better if the audio side and the video side were better distguished. Several years ago I purchased an audio tape of an IFR flight from Claremont to Chicago. I was expecting the new video to be as good. Instead I got three flights all mixed together which made it difficult to know which pilot I was with. For example, I was following the pilot going to Bowling Green and then the pilots are talking about the problems of getting into New York. None of the pilots actually filled an IFR flight plan! If they did it was never recorded. The announcer said that to go into La Guardia a permit was needed and he said to check the FAR/AIM for how to do that. General CommentsWhy not say, "Look in FAR/AIM section -----" Instead you don't help any pilot going to any city that requires a time slot but make each of us look up the info ourselves. You could at least given a hint. The program would have been more helpful if you had followed each pilot from beginning flight planning to landing at destination seperately. That way if I had to stop the program and come back later I would know where I was. There should have been more recording of the dialogue between ATC and pilot with an ongoing explanation of what was happening and why. |
Date - 7-24-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This is a good introduction of what IFR "looks" like to the pilot interested in becoming IFR rated. A basic copy of the IFR routes for the three flight scenerios depicted in the DVD would be a nice addition to this product. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Date - 12-1-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Not bad, if you've never listen to IFR verbage. ConsIs a very simple example of IFR communications. Was expecting more depth. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 11-14-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Good travelogue with view of regs, aircraft equipment and IFR procedures.

Date - 8-28-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very Good Presentation Consnone General Commentsthree real world senarios that any of us can relate to |
Date - 5-27-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | You get to hear some comunications on American airports. ConsI was expecting a lot more than what i received, for what i paid i was expecting at least 1.5 hrs. of teaching comunications, phraseology, and more stuff. i bought this DVD cuz im from outside the U.S and honestly i was really disapointed.becouse i got a 44 min. DVD focused more on weather on a cross country flight. General CommentsIts over pricced, extremly short and not 100% focused on IFR comunications, if you want a DVD showing how to get a weather brefing on a cross country flight get this DVD. Specially if you are a non native english speaker this is not a big help. |
Date - 4-29-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Real world examples Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsIt's enjoyable and I've watched it two or three times. The real world examples are very helpful. |
