Excellent Teaching
- Verified Purchase
I thought it was an excellent support product for the book material
- By Michael from Sandy Springs GA USA on Wednesday, January 26, 2011
- Pros: The chapter on FARs was awesome instead of trying to learn them by just simply reading
- Cons: None
- Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed having this product as a supplement to the book material. Obviously some of the information that requires some graphics to discuss cannot be fully explained but for items that don't require graphics, it was extremely helpful.
It is great for listening to while driving to/from work but PAY ATTENTION because almost every word spoken is important to know. The authors did a great job of condensing a lot of information into concise descriptions - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

Good resource for those who drive but...
- By Adeel Khalid from Boston, MA on Friday, July 13, 2007
- Pros: Very thorough
- Cons:
- Review: It is a good resource for those who drive to and from work like myself but there are several chapters where you actually need to refer to written material. The CD set does not come with any written material. It encourages you to buy Gleim pilot training books and refers to items in the books at several places throughout the lecture series. For those chapters where you absolutely have to look at tables or graphs, listening to the CDs while driving or doing any other activity except looking at those graphs/tables is not going to teach you much. But other than that, i think it is a valuable learning tool.

alot of information in one package
- By TONY from SAINT PAUL MN USA on Thursday, November 10, 2011
- Pros: Covers allot of ground in a small package for the price
- Cons: Does not include sample test
- Review: All of the information on these are good information. I found for myself that you can retain the information better if you listen to the same cd a couple of times before moving on to the next topic. Might be helpful to add some direction on how too go about learning this information. I also was expecting to have the practice test included with this package and found it was not included.

Some good informaiton
- By Greg from Poplar Bluff MO USA on Monday, June 29, 2009
- Pros: Audio format good for listening while driving for review.
- Cons: Not complete, poor quality production.
- Review: I recieved Gleim's Private Pilot Audio Course (CD) in hope of listening to it while driving the many miles I do each week. It was informative, but there were MANY places that the narration stopped in mid sentence leaving the information with SEVERAL blanks to be filled from other sources. Overall, I was able to learn some from the CD's, but this is not a product I would recommend to someone else. Since the purchase of this series, I did find others which were MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL. This might be more beneficial as part of the Gleim package, not as a stand-alone product.

Not effective
- By Thomas from Rio Vista CA USA on Thursday, February 28, 2013
- Pros: Information presented is accurate
- Cons: Audio is not presented in an effective manner.
- Review:
The audio was not presented in a way that allowed me to retain the information. It basically recited the information. For audio, this isn't enough.
I wanted to listen to this during long commute hours. I believe for this to be effective for me, I would need more of a repetitive presentation style. This would help me better retain what was being said. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 2 Other people found this review helpful.

I would not buy it again
- By Dale from Mira Loma CA USA on Wednesday, November 12, 2014
- Review: I was under the impression I was buying a CD to listen in my car while stuck in traffic instead it was a digital download which I had to have someone do for me then go buy my own burnable CDs and burn it onto them kind of a pain in the behind

- Review: Advertised that you can follow while you drive, yet it references the book. I don't like to drive while reading a diagram. Had much trouble loading audio files on iPhone....maybe I need a teenager to figure this out
