Compelling Video Segments
As always, Sporty’s course is packed with hours of broadcast quality video, shot in and
around airplanes. You’ll see what the pilot does and why, in real world conditions. Plus,
state-of-the-art 3D animations and graphics go beyond the basics to explain complicated
subjects. All of this video is segmented for easy navigation and review, and interactive
review questions follow most video segments. Instead of just memorizing test questions,
you’ll develop a real understanding of aerodynamics, engines, weather and more.

With the included test preparation program, studying for the written test has never been easier.
This powerful program allows you to create customized study sessions, take
randomly generated practice tests (just like the real thing), and test your
knowledge with our exclusive flash card function.

In addition to the separate test prep, each DVD includes dozens of interactive test
questions to help you review important concepts. All of these quizzes work on your
