Just getting into aviation? Learn the basics with these DVDs from Sporty’s What You Should Know™ series.
Includes: Introduction to Flying
Everything you wanted to know about flying--but were afraid to ask! Sporty’s takes the mystery out of flying by explaining everything in layman’s terms, not pilot jargon. Learn more about what your pilot is doing (and why) and how you can help make things easier, safer and more enjoyable for everyone involved. From preflight through takeoff and landing and all the way to engine shutdown, this enlightening video explains it all. You’ll learn about flying on beautiful sunny days, as well as what’s involved when the weather is less than perfect and how the pilot can still fly safely in clouds. Ride along in a new Cessna 172 Skyhawk on a flight across the Midwest and learn the basics of piloting an aircraft as well as the fundamentals of navigation. You’ll also experience flight in a “glass-cockpit” Cirrus as the pilot navigates through light rain showers and clouds and utilizes modern avionics equipment in the aircraft. In the end, you’ll have a greater understanding and appreciation of flying. Who knows, it may even inspire you to start taking flying lessons!
How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act
Come along as we examine the professional and personal qualities required of a great airline captain. The whole flight crew, especially the captain, can affect a profound and lasting impression on an airline's passengers. In addition to flying ability, a captain's appearance, mannerisms and public relations skills can and should be used to provide the quality service today's airline passengers demand. In cooperation with Delta Air Lines, Sporty's follows Captain George Elbel through his typical duties preparing for a flight. From his armchair the night before to his responsibilities after the flight, go behind the scenes to discover how an experienced captain smoothly coordinates all elements of a flight, balancing safety, passenger comfort and a demanding schedule. Not just for future airline captains, this DVD Video can be helpful to current captains looking to improve service to their crew, their airline and most of all, their passengers. Ideal for anyone interested in a more intimate look at an airline flying career and an excellent way to give youngsters a realistic view of life in the captain's seat.
