Polish off your skills on the two most exhilarating aspects of flying—takeoffs and landings. This video goes in depth to explore the different types of takeoffs and landings and the factors that affect their outcome. In-flight footage puts you in the cockpit for a pilot’s eye view of the different techniques and methods for smooth, safe operation. More than just crosswind techniques, this program thoroughly covers slips, crabs, no-flap landings, emergencies, and recoveries from not-so-great approaches and bounces. The section on maximum performance takeoffs and landings will show you how to safely operate from soft or short fields. State-of-the-art 3D graphics give insight into performance characteristics and help to reinforce key topics. This video will help you maintain your takeoff and landing proficiency—great for students, instructors, and experienced pilots alike. (51 min.)

Pros
Great video! Almost like being in the cockpit! The hour spent watching it should be loggable flight time! That 172 had cameras everywhere so you get to see what happens during every stage of the take-off/landing maneuvers. Scenes shot from the ground give you an outstanding perspective of the techniques involved during crosswind landings and show how to avoid common mistakes.

Cons
None noted.

General Comments

Was having some problems getting landings down, especially in crosswinds. My instructor recommended this video, saying it may help me visualize better how ... and it did.

I hoped for a better coverage of the material. There was one graphic of glide sloap that was pretty good. Beyond that topics were rushed over.
