Worth it if you do a lot of aviation shopping
Kind of like Amazon Prime for aviators.

I have more than paid for it in the 6 months or so that I have subscribed and the TakeOff app has been a nice perk.

Of course, it has been good for Sporty's too, since I am more likely to purchase here with "free" shipping if all else is equal.

This has to be one of the best value products available. I love the ability to watch videos and lessons directly through the Apple TV app.

I am returning to flight instructing after 10 years of flying fighters and 25 years of corporate flying. I quickly realized that the volume of information that a private pilot needs to learn has increased at least ten fold as a result of GPS, APPs, WX sites, etc. I also knew that in order to teach the basics of flying, I had to go back to the basics of private and instrument flying. I plowed through the books highlighting and underlining. I quickly learned that it would take me forever to read everything I needed to read and even with my extensive flying experience, hard to retain well enough to teach. After watching an older Sporty’s training video series on instrument flying and finding it extremely informative I decided that I needed to look into Sporty’s training videos. I ended up purchasing the Sporty’s Flight Crew Membership so I could review everything at a much lower price. So far the results have been outstanding.

Well ..… I got about what I expected. Some good videos and articles, but nothing that separates this app from dozens of others. Works well with no technical issues. Truthfully, its the free shipping that works for me. I can get the content in other places just as easily.

A TON of benefits for a great price
If you are devoting time and energy (not to mention finances) for flight training, you absolutely need to become a Platinum member. For less than three hours of dual, you get an ENTIRE YEAR of resources at your disposal.
