Private Pilot: The Missing Lessons video training released

By General Aviation News Staff · May 18, 2020 ·

PilotWorkshops has launched a new video training program called “Private Pilot: The Missing Lessons.”

Patterned after its IFR version, this program contains lessons that are often overlooked, glossed over, or not fully explained during private pilot training, according to company officials.

Topics include planning, comms, weather, night flying, and long range VFR trips.

“There are so many aspects of VFR flying that can’t possibly be covered in primary training. These Missing Lessons demonstrate powerful tools and techniques that help any Private Pilot achieve a higher level of comfort and proficiency,” explains PilotWorkshops’ founder Mark Robidoux.

The program includes 36 videos that teach a technique or procedure, and then demonstrate the technique in a sim flight that includes live ATC. This “show-then-do” format enhances understanding and retention, according to company officials.

Pilots completing the course are eligible for six WINGS credits.

Online access is available for $79, while you can get online access and a USB drive with all videos for $99.

Learn more and see a sample video at PilotWorkshop.com.
