Warning: App Expires

Tried to get it renewed now that I can start training (pandemic over!) but they want $25. The interface is pretty wonky and feel I learn more for using a book anyway. For the remainder of my flight ratings will skip using Sheppard.

Scored 95% on the Instrument Airplane Exam

I followed the study strategy as advised and scored 95% on my first attempt at the IRA exam. Several other pilots at my airport have had success using Sheppard Air for various tests.

Great study material crummy app

The app is very clumsy to navigate. Specially the charts when flipping back and forth from chart to question. The buttons are way too small and difficult to push, making it tedious to flip back n forth. They need to have a larger surface area.
This is a minor complaint as I'm on my 4th of 6 tests and the slight annoyance has finally gotten the better of me to write about it. Sheppard air test is still an industry standard in aviation test prep.
