Includes 33 full-motion 3D demonstrations, covering every required maneuver. With the 3D demonstrations, each maneuver includes objectives, FAA completion standards, step-by-step instructions and common errors. In addition to helping you maximize your flight time with your instructor, this program is a great review for your flight test.
Online Training Course Outline
Sporty's exclusive Interactive Training Course Outline tracks not only online course progress, but also ground and flight training progress too. It seamlessly bridges the gap between at-home study and in-airplane training, and creates a permanent training record for you. Interactive links allow you to easily see both the pertinent video segments and the maneuvers demonstrations directly from each lesson plan. Plus, suggested reading sections include links to online versions of FAA publications, like the FAR/AIM.
Interactive Practical Test Standards
This feature includes the entire text of the FAA's Practical Test Standards, your guide to the checkride, indexed to Sporty's video course—complete with direct links to the appropriate video segments. Reviewing steep turns? The PTS shows you exactly where this topic is covered in the video course. This makes it easy to quickly review pertinent video segments when prepping for a checkride.
