Sporty's COMPLETE Flight Training Course on DVD (Private Pilot)

Pass All 3 Pilot Tests—GUARANTEED!
No other course can promise what ours does—you will pass your written test, oral exam and flight test, plus you'll be prepared for real world flying after you get your license. If you don't pass all three tests, we'll give you your money back.

Written Test—All Sporty’s courses include interactive written test preparation software on CDROM, so you can study for the written test before you start flight training or as you take lessons. This easy-to-use program allows you to create customized study sessions, take randomly generated practice tests and test your knowledge with our exclusive flash card function. Plus, each DVD includes interactive review quizzes to check your progress as you watch the video.

Oral Exam—You don’t have to fear the oral exam with Sporty’s courses. Our state-of-the-art 3D graphics and animations make complicated subjects like aerodynamics and weather easy to understand, so you’ll have the confidence to answer all of your examiner’s questions. And each program includes detailed explanations and real world examples of everything you need to know. Plus, our integrated Training Course Outline promotes a building-block approach to learning, so you’ll thoroughly understand each concept, instead of just memorizing test questions.

Flight Test—Incredible in-flight footage, filmed in broadcast quality, shows you every maneuver from the pilot’s perspective, from steep turns and stalls to landings and emergencies. In fact, over 75% of our course is shot in and around airplanes. You’ll know exactly what to expect in the airplane, and you’ll be able to explain every procedure to the examiner. Plus, our Practical Test Standards Study Guide cross-references every required task to the DVD programs, making pre-checkride review easy. We’ll even give you a preview of the checkride on the final DVD program.

Only Sporty's Offers These Exclusive Features:
Our exclusive PTS Study Guide cross-references every required task from the Practical Test Standards to our course. No other course can do this because no other course is this complete. You will be thoroughly prepared for everything on your checkride.

The integrated Training Course Outline offers an FAA-approved training syllabus, including all flight and ground lessons. It includes specific lesson objectives, completion standards, required study materials and room for lesson critique and notes.

Special Air Facts™ segments with Flying magazine editor Richard L. Collins take you beyond the tests to teach you real-world flying tips and techniques. You won't find Collins' expertise in any other flight training course.

Sporty's is committed to having the most up to date courses available. We are continually updating our courses with the latest FAA guidelines, and new segments are frequently added to highlight new technologies. You can buy our course with confidence—it will include the latest information.

Our courses are an exceptional value. Prices start at just $99—you could easily pay much more for a much less complete course. Best of all, with Sporty's there is nothing extra to buy—just add flight instructor.

Why DVD?
The tremendous capacity of Sporty's dual-layer DVDs allows the entire 14-hour Private course to fit on only 6 discs, yet they still offer twice the sharpness of VHS, and over 4 times the resolution of CD-ROM video courses. All of the "competitors" use single-layer discs in their DVD courses. The Interactive 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. Run Time: 14 hours, 13 minutes.

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.

Attention International Students!
Sporty's educational video courses have printed subtitles or captions (sometimes called under-titles). These captions are very useful for students whose first language is not English, as many students more effectively assimilate new material when it's presented in both verbal and written form. Sporty's interactive DVD courses are the only courses to offer this feature.
