Product Reviews

Crosswind lands are a bugaboo to many pilots.  This course gives a good picture of how to manage them.  In fact, the use of rudder to control the nose carries over to a lot of fixed wing flying (see the discussion in "Stick and Rudder") so is particularly relevant here.  While crabbing, then going into a slip is only one way to manage crosswinds (personally I prefer a stabilized slip) the sight picture for managing a landing is clearly given.  This is a good training video, particularly for new or rusty pilots.

I took this again as a review for the non-towered field that I fly out of.  It is accurate and very well done, nicely matching what (most) people do at our field.  The one thing I would emphasize is to be aware that not everyone follow such good radio procedures, nor for that matter do they always have a radio!  But all you can do is watch and follow safe practices, which this course demonstrates very nicely.

great review of troublesome topics

I like this course and always come away with new information and ideas but the downside of each lesson is you have to wait for the timer to run down to zero before it allows you to take the "end of lesson" test.  I often found myself finishing the lesson but having to wait for the timer to expire before being allowed to take the test.  Seems like a waste of time between finishing the lesson material and taking the test.  I would often go do something else and come back to the computer later after the time ran out.

I liked this. Will know in 2 days how good it is.

No matter how hard other companies try, they still have to look up to see the "King".

Very helpful and explained in a clear, concise manner.

This was a very entertaining and captivating course about something that all pilots should do. I was never taught this throughout my flight training, but happy I learned some life saving advice.
