Unedited Customer Reviews
Excellent
I found this course rich in content and well paced. It makes optimal use of time and the lesson lengths are perfect. Some parts are more dense than other but this makes for an interesting variation and is easily coped with by simply looping the relevant parts of the video a few times till things are understood.

The only way that this course would be better would be if it was updated to incorporate the nxi version of the G1000. John and Martha are excellent instructors.

Excellent, but a little dated
I am learning to fly a Cirrus Perspective Plus aircraft and felt like other courses I tried were not much help.  This course is dated and does not cover the Cirrus, but I still feel like it was worth my money and time.  I like how the Kings help you with the big picture and cover common mistakes.  I feel far more prepared to fly the Cirrus after taking the course.

Great course for proficiency!
Having obtained my Instrument Rating with different avionics, I wanted to become proficient with the G1000.  This course has really helped me understand that avionics really should be studied and mastered to ensure safety.
