Great for beginners
I am working to get my written test out of the way before starting flight training. This app/system really has helped. The practice test make you work out the problem and really understand the information. What ever I didn’t get from the videos was easily searched online for and helped me understand the questions and work through them rather than memorizing the questions for othe tests. A must have for anyone getting ready for the written test.

Mostly Awesome
Passed my Private exam with an A so that was worth it. Knee deep in the IFR course now.
Only docked one star because the phone/iPad/or computer get out of sync on progress a lot and it’s kind of irritating. You have to log off and back on again to make it work. Seems clunky.
I have some other small gripes that I might update later but the focus should be on how great this is as a tool for learning to fly. I highly recommend.

Just keeps getting better
Been using this app for years and it’s always improving. Latest videos are the best flight training ones I’ve seen, and the test prep tools are amazing. Love the smart study sessions.
Incredible resource
Background: Retired military helicopter pilot with commercial helicopter instrument certification. Nine years later, I started private pilot training in airplanes. I am also a former public school teacher.
The instructional delivery and quality of the presentations found in this course are exceptional. This course allowed me to acquire the knowledge I needed and refresh that which had been forgotten in an incredibly efficient manner. I passed my checkride with the absolute minimum flight hours and did it within three weeks from starting the training.
I have already purchased the instrument course and will begin this add on rating immediately.

Amazing Resource
Great App for the Apple TV, free updates and amazing detail and graphics. Keep going and please put other iPad course on the Apple TV!
What a great product
So here’s the thing I’m neck deep into my flight training been through a 141 ground school already and that didn’t really demonstrate a lot of the things necessary to pass the FAA written. If you use this program in conjunction with a flight instructor its worth its weight in gold.
Price
I Online downloaded the app because it’s free and now it’s for £199 extremely disappointing
Above and beyond expectations
I am using the Sporty’s app for my instrument rating. The content is high quality and up to date. It has a great user interface and I like how the videos are broken down into easy to digest segments. The multiple types of test prep was extremely useful for preparing me for my instrument written which I got a 97% on. I will definitely use this app for my future ratings as well and I highly recommend it to others.

Even Better now
I used the older version for the pts standards and I scored a 93 on my written. Now with this later version it is so much better being able to cue the videos 15 sec forward and back. I just passed my BFR with the help of this.
I used the older instrument course but my eyes started to glaze over from that content. But now with the cueing feature. I might be able to back up the videos often enough to make it sink in. I’ll be getting to work on that soon
Thanks Sporty’s. Nice Update!

just okay- so far
I downloaded this about 2 weeks ago and have completed about 1/2 of the course. I was following everything fine until about the 25% way through the program, I am guessing because it was fairly simple stuff. When things get more complicated they really rush through the charts and explanations and might cover 5 topics in a 8-10 minute video. It is almost like they are assuming that you are already exposed to a decent amount of the IFR language, charts and acronyms. I constantly find myself going back on the video to try to figure out what he is talking about. Personally, I feel that a 17 minute video with many new introductions is completely overwhelming. I am taking this course because I am a novice and do not know IFR and the charts.
I also purchased the private pilot program 2 years ago and found it to be better and it didn't just whip through the explanations and terminology's.
I am not impressed for the price they charged. Wish I had tried one of the cheaper ones first.
