The Only Courses with a Triple Guarantee!

The Sporty’s Difference
• Real World Video--We put you in the cockpit for a "pilot's-eye-view" of everything you'll see during your flight lessons. Learning to fly is much more than just passing a multiple choice test. So unlike other courses, ours are not slideshows and talking heads, and there are no textbooks to read. We'll teach you to be an aviator, not just a pilot.
• Save Hours of Flight Lessons--By reviewing our course before each lesson, you'll go to your next flight prepared. This will make your time with your instructor much more efficient, saving you time and money.
• The Most Complete Course--With Sporty's university-level course, we take you beyond the book answers. Our course focuses on really learning to fly, not just memorizing test questions. In fact, our course is so complete it has been accepted by the FAA for use in approved flight schools.
• A Personalized Training Experience--Don't waste your time in a classroom! With our courses, you learn on your own schedule and at your own pace. It's easy to review segments multiple times or skip ahead.
• Written Test Endorsement--When you've completed the course, just let us know and we'll provide you the necessary signoff to take the test--automatically. No instructor needed.

Hal says:
“If you just watch the videos, you’ll save many hours of flight instruction AND you’ll pass your written, oral and flight tests.”

Reading to learn is not a strong suit of mine but if someone will show me I learn quite qickly. This program has allowed me to attain the confidence necessary to pass the written, oral and flight test.
Thank you Sporty's!

Pros
Includes about everything you will need to know. You will of course need a FAR/AIM reference book and I found printing out the summary of the airspace rules for study a big help. Don't hesitate to view the areas that don't seem to stick with you several times. The practice tests are a big help as well. I got an 85 on my test which is about what I had been doing on the practice tests.
Cons
could use a few more memory aids thrown in to help you retain the information better. Sometimes developing your own is the best way to remember anyhow. Only had one issue with the internet version of the class. It came up one evening and did not recognize my password and that I should call in. The next day everything returned to normal so I never did have to call.

Nice short lessons- easy to understand. I like the test sections as well.
Cons
Very disappointed that I was not able to get the book material that is offered in the deluxe kit as an add-on. Also I was hoping that there would be more lessons to prepare me for the test. The flight maneuvers section is a waste since there isn't audio to go with it.
General Comments
I have been asked by other student pilots about this product and I am having a difficult time recommending it. With that said, there seems to be an overall shortfall of good cbt material in general aviation at this level.

Covers most subjects.
Cons
Password shows when logging on to course.
First starting the course you don't know what to start with or in what order you should do things. You just kind of gravitate to video training but not sure how to use effectivly the rest.
Reversing it and forwarding it is a little hard on internet connection.
Would have like complex information broke down in smaller easier to understand parts.
Would have liked to see ongoing small tests to help remember.
General Comments
After going throuh all the video's I did terrible on the written test prep becuase I found many questions I didn't even remember covering.
Now I am just using it in conjunction with other training materials.
