Flight Training DVD's and Videos

[Guest iflycessna]

I have been looking around for some flight training dvds/videos, but i am not sure what i should get. I have looked at the Sportys Private Pilot course, the Airs Technologies CD-ROM Course and the Kings Schools course.

 

Both the Sportys Private Pilot Course and the Kings School course are from the US. The Airs Technologies course in from Australia.

 

I am just really looking for a DVD/Video course that explains the theory parts of flight training E.g. - Meteorology, Aerodynamics, Airlaw, Engines and Systems, Human Factors and Navigation.

 

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Yes, but their does not seem to be anything available. Most training DVD's/Videos come from the US E.g. - Sportys and Kings Schools.

 

I had a look on the Kings School website at some of their DVD's/Video/CD-ROM products. You could download short clips of them and they seemed to be very good.

 

Airs Technologies and sportys also has a similar thing on their website.

 

Here are the websites:

The only problem I see getting material from the US is that the training standards might be different. I'm not sure what is entailed for a Private Pilot in Australia vs a Private Pilot in the US.

 

Thanks for this thread however. I'm going to add the question, what would be best for some home study? I would have to start at the beginning (Student) and would like to work to PPL. What material would be best to purchase to get a ?jump start?? I've been through FAA Aircraft Dispatch course, so I know weather, general flight dynamics, flight planning, etc... (although I would need to brush up on those as well).

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the info Robbo. At least it will give me something to do while I await HRH Vanstone's nod. :twisted:
