View Full Version : Recommendations for Private Pilot CDs?

I'm working on my private pilots certificate and until I get it, I'll be
doing a lot of driving - up to eight hours on the road each weekend. I can
use that time listening to what my wife calls "sports blather" on the radio
or maybe use it to help me in my flight training. The text I'm using for my
flight instruction is "Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook." Can anyone
recommend a CD series that will complement this text?

Thanks in advance.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

I enjoy Machado's book. It is the only one I can read for more than 15
minutes without falling asleep. However, it is not a complete course,
and it does indeed need to be complemented. I took a ground school
(with a Jeppeson text) and also bought an early version of computer
software.

Now the Kings and Sporty's have pilot-training courses on DVD. I'm not
suggesting you watch video while driving, but the CD player will play
the DVD audio, won't it? If you've seen the video, the audio will
bring it all back. I've done this with a video on back exercises: I
just taped the audio and carried the tape around with me wherever I
traveled.

DUH!!!! Thanks for the obvious link. I should have gone there first.
However, my paperback version of the book advertises some other DVDs and CDs
but not this one. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Thanks again.

I'm glad you asked that.
I drive about 10 hours a week commuting!
Good question.

A DVD player will play CD audio, but unfortunately a regular CD player will
not play DVD audio.
