Sporty's Instrument Rating Course--DVD
Pass your tests and more--become a great instrument pilot Sporty's is the only real world instrument course available Earning an instrument rating is a fun and rewarding experience that can make your pilot’s license much more powerful. But instrument flying is also unforgiving, and requires more than just passing an FAA test. That’s why Sporty’s university-level Complete Instrument Rating Course goes far beyond test prep. We go outside the textbook to unlock the secrets of the IFR system, so you can be a safe, smooth and proficient pilot. Detailed video segments cover both glass cockpits and analog gauges. The Sporty’s Advantage
Complete preparation for the FAA tests and for real world flying after your checkride. All in one course. The Instrument training experts At Sporty’s, we pioneered weekend instrument ground schools nearly 50 years ago, traveling the country to teach pilots the keys to IFR flying in just 3 days. Today, we operate an active flight school at our home airport (I69) with over 100 flight students. This everyday practical experience with instrument students makes us uniquely qualified to offer the most complete, up-to-date training courses available. When you learn with Sporty’s, you’re learning from the best. What Format Should I Choose? Both the DVD and the online version include the exact same video segments and test prep software. The DVD Course is great for watching on your large screen TV. The Online Course is ideal for those who travel, as you can use the full course anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection--there is no software to install. Both versions work on Windows (including 7) or Mac. Adobe Flash player required for online courses. Earn FAA WINGS Credit! Sporty's Instrument Rating Course makes a great refresher after you have your rating. You can even earn FAA Pilot Proficiency Program (WINGS) credit when you complete the course. The credit is automatically awarded when you watch all the videos and complete two practice tests with passing scores. Why participate in the WINGS program?

Date - 11-17-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to use, and follow. Nice areas to stop and take a break. Easy to get back into and pick up where left off. None General CommentsI have been putting off studying for the written. This has been a great investment for me to get back into studying. As mentioned, really found my weak spots, and has helped on asking more questions with instructor |
Date - 11-4-2010 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | KEEPS ONE CURRENT ON IFR ConsNON General CommentsVery useful and practical for private use. |
Date - 9-6-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Good overall presentation of what is required in order to get the IFR rating......expecially true of the visuals provided. ConsAn awful lot of new material offered all at once (with the need to review more than once) and many of the written exam questions at the end of each section not always covered in the individual presentations. You need to independently learn and memorize many of the written exam questions. General CommentsWorth the expense of the materials if only to get a perpective on the requirements for the IFR rating. |
Date - 8-25-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good introduction to IFR. ConsProceeds very fast, don't have time to let parts of the lesson sink in. Need to pause, not a big issue. General CommentsGood product. This should be a supplement to your IFR training. |

Date - 8-11-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallReliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsMaterial is presented in a clear, concise and well communicated manner. I especially appreciate the DVD feature providing the ability to review the materials again and again. |
Date - 7-6-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | DVD'S ARE VERY WELL ORGANIZED WITH GOOD GRAPHICS AND EXPLAIN THE SUBJECTS PRETTY WELL AND ALLOW YOU TO PAUSE OR REPLAY TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE MATERIAL. I LIKE THE AIR FACTS AT THE END TO GIVE YOU THE REAL WORLD PERSPECTIVE AND THE QUIZ TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT THE BASICS FOR THAT CHAPTER. ConsI WOULD LIKE MORE INFO ON EMERGENCY PROCEDURES OR TIPS ,TRICKS OF THE TRADE OR JUST NICE TO KNOW TYPE INFO THAT COMES FROM YEARS OF EXPERIENCE THAT I COULD HAVE LEARNED FROM THESE DVD'S RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE AS A NOVICE SINCE WE NEVER KNOW WHAT WE MIGHT RUN INTO EVEN ON A ROUTINE FLIGHT BUT THE PRODUCT AS IT STANDS IS GREAT.

Date - 1-5-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very Informational and detailed ConsA bit expensive for the fairly old cast in which most of this video was filmed. General CommentsLots of real life information |
| Nicely done DVD and better than the online streaming. I have had issues with online streaming which you may not. ConsCourse is too fast. It's thorough and I am a pretty quick learner but the DVD's provide too much information too fast. General CommentsWatch some of the sample online and really decide whether they may be too fast or not. Remember you'll be watching at the same pace for about an hour on many of the titles. |
Date - 10-14-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | This product would be great for those who have had an experience with IFR training. ConsThis isn't for IFR training begginers, this will confuse you and stress you out. General CommentsPlease do more research on what you need as a IFR trainee. |
Date - 9-4-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Nice presentation; good graphics, good lecturers. ConsNot easy to back up to review something. Not easy to rewind to a start of a particular chapter. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 8-24-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI wish I had purchased both the VFR and IFR at the same time to get the 1/2 price discount. I was disappointed that even though you could verify that I had purchased the VFR, you could not honor any discount unless they were actually ordered at the same time. |

Date - 6-23-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The instrument rating course was not only educational but a complete joy to watch. It was presented in an interesting format with exceptional graphics and narration. The segments with Dick Collins were informative and entertaining. His extensive knowledge of aviation, as well as his pleasant personality, is a winning combination I wish it never ended. I plan on purchasing the private pilot course as a tool for reviewing everything I have forgotten since I received my private 42 years ago when I was 17. Sportys is a first rate American company. God Bless you guys and gals. General CommentsPlease keep the catalogs coming to my home.... |
