Why DVD?
Sporty's® dual-layer Interactive DVDs offer twice the sharpness of VHS, and over 4 times the resolution of CD-ROM video courses. The DVD format allows the viewer to go back and forth from the instructional material to the test questions, and to easily move among the various study segments on either TV set-top players or DVD-video-equipped computers. Test questions can be attempted as many times as necessary, and the student will know instantly whether the correct test answer was selected. A brief explanation of why the choice is correct or incorrect is also included.
Limit one per customer
Outside the United States? - Sporty's® DVDs have all DVD regions enabled and play on almost all DVD players (NTSC or PAL); consult your owner's manual for more information. Closed Captioning not functional on PAL DVD players.

Pros
As a Private Pilot who hasn't flown for 20 years, this was a very informative DVD. I am in the process of transitioning to Sport Pilot and it reminded me of how much I have to relearn. And you can't beat the price.
Cons
I'm now wishing I had the series.
General Comments
I also purchased the DVD "Getting Started" and I think this one was much better.
