Sporty’s Private Pilot Course upgraded

By Janice Wood · October 25, 2009 ·

Major revisions to numerous segments, including ATC/Communication, weather and basic attitude instrument flying have been made to Sporty’s Complete Private Pilot Course. More than 60 upgrades have been made to the course in the last year – part of Sporty’s “always up to date” promise.

updatepilotcourse1“Many of these updates came from feedback we received directly from customers, as well as from our instructional staff who teach with the course on a daily basis,” said Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman. “This feedback is evaluated constantly to ensure we are providing the highest quality training product available.”

All-new video footage has updated and expanded these sections, along with the addition of charts for greater comprehension. In addition, Sporty’s Meteorologist Rich Apuzzo supplies new sections on weather-related topics.

The same Triple Guarantee still applies to Sporty’s updated course — you’re guaranteed to pass the written, oral and practical test or your money back.

The Private Pilot Course is available on DVD or online where customers log-in and the material is continually available, including revisions as the course is updated. Either format is available for $199.
