The parts are played by two highly experienced pilots so the student is a little too good. The information touched on is covered well; some areas where I had previously been confused are clear now.

This product covers a variety of the topics covered in the oral test prep book and is a good help in studying for the oral. It can be used on your computer, downloaded to your ipod, or will even play in your cd player. This is a very versatile tool to help you pass your oral test.
Cons
It would be nice if the student got a question or two wrong to demonstrate how the examiner might reply or try to coach the student to pull the knowledge out from association to another subject.

Cons
Basically, the content is just the FAA knowledge test questions put into a conversational format. It doesn't prepare somebody for what they can really expect to hear from the FAA Examiner.
General Comments
Based on discussions with several pilots, the FAA examination doesn't really look anything like to way it is characterized on the DVD.

Excellent prep tool. After listening to the audio over and over in my car and on my Ipod, I feel much better prepared for the checkride. The CD has eight tracks, 12 to 35 minutes per track, each covering an individual topic. This makes it easy to focus on areas where one needs more review.
Compared to the $ spent to reach this point in my training, this is money well spent!

These CDs are very helpful. Just as advertised, it will enable you to study while driving down the road. With a busy schedule some days this is the only we get to study.
Cons
The quality was outstanding, but I would like to have heard less of a textbook or scripted response. It would be helpful to include a sampling of recordings from real world oral test and to hear how candidates think through or derive the correct answer.
General Comments
This is a great tool to keep the material fresh in your head as you approach your check ride date. My check ride is in 3 days and I'm feeling about as prepared as I can be.

Pros
Excellent general review that includes a lot of information. It built my confidence by reminding me of the key words that an examiner would like to hear (e.g. aneroid wafer in describing how the altimeter works).
Cons
There seem to be some inaccuracies in the material. For instance, TAF is referred to as the Terminal "Area" Forecast. The person playing the examiner could have saved time with fewer comments such as, "As usual, Robin, your are exactly correct."
General Comments
Overall, this is a great resource and I highly recommend it for anyone who is preparing for the oral portion of the practical test.
