You won't be disappointed!

  • By A Customer from Pensacola, Florida on Saturday, March 30, 2013
  • Pros: Everything you need to ace flight school
  • Cons: Price although everything in aviation is expensive
  • Review: My flight school said I wouldn't need everything in the kit and discouraged me from buying it. This kit is invaluable. While the other students in class struggle through manuevers and test, I ace the tests and master the manuevers well before my classmates.

Why the weird bag?

  • By Robert from Providence RI USA on Monday, January 30, 2012
  • Review: Good stuff. Textbook is clear. Lots of good illustrations. But why the weird carrying bag with the cloth strip dividing the top? That makes it a PITA to use.

Great starter kit

  • By Loren from Newport News VA USA on Wednesday, January 17, 2018
  • Pros: This is definitely a complete kit for starting flight training.
  • Cons:
  • Review: Great kit. It has everything I need to get started with my PPL training. High quality books and printed material. I expect to get a lot of use from this material. The E6-B flight computer is a much better quality than I expected.

By far the best

  • By Alex from Dallas, TX on Saturday, November 10, 2007
  • Pros: Text format, Value, and just the Jeppesen reliability
  • Cons: Bag is a little heavy
  • Review: Every aspect of flying for the private pilot in a heavy black bag. You wont be disappointed. You cant go wrong with Jeppesen, and I assure you it is worth the extra dollars for the part 141.

Great

  • By Dwayne from North Logan UT USA on Saturday, July 25, 2009
  • Review: Great product. Has all you need to prepare for the FAA private pilot test both written and flight portions. It has tons of materials to practice taking exams. If you use them all you will be more than ready for the test.

  • By Patrick from Spokane WA USA on Thursday, February 19, 2009

  • Cons: lots of information, seems overwhelming at first.

FAR 141 Private Pilot course materials, Good buy!

  • By Rick from Bethlehem PA USA on Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Good kit for Private Pilot

  • By N M from Fremont CA USA on Tuesday, July 14, 2015
  • Pros: Good kit, exhaustive material.
  • Cons: Answers to stage exams will be helpful. Plotter and Computer quality can be made better.
  • Review: The kit comes with everything you need. The E6B computer and plotter are good enough to solve the purpose. If you are following Part 61, you may not need the Stage Exams but, it's good to give those exams and get it reviewed by your CFI. I follow the syllabus as provided in the kit. The GFD (Guided Flight Discovery) book is very good. The book helps in your fundamentals and if you follow up with AIM and Pilot Handbook for Aeronautical Knowledge, you will be equipped to score good in your knowledge test.

Informative, easy to use, and great quality of resources.

  • By Allison from Whiteland IN USA on Monday, October 08, 2018
  • Pros: Lots of information, easy to follow syllabus, and the lessons in the books compliment each other well.
  • Cons: The flight bag is kind of cheap looking and I have had to fix the strap twice already.
  • Review: This product really met and exceeded my expectations. On other sites it told me that I wouldn?t get the kit for over a month, but with this site, I got it in less than 10 days. It was more affordable that any other site as well.

Confusing at first but complete at last

  • By Cardinal from Cleveland TN USA on Tuesday, November 13, 2007
  • Pros: Very informative and structured
  • Cons: Sensory Overload at first
  • Review: This product was both overwhelming and enlightening. When the product was received I immediately opened the package and began to look at what I had bought. I quickly became overwhelmed until my instructor sat down with me and explained the program. My instructor is now using the structure of this program for me and other students that are starting to fly. The information is very informative but the book is a little thick and slow to start. P.S. I soloed Yesterday and what a rush (Lost the shirt tail) [Editor note: Congratulations!]

A must for any student in a Part 141 program

  • By Fred from Warwick RI USA on Wednesday, September 30, 2009
  • Pros: Everything you need.
  • Cons: Knowledge test manual needs better layout
  • Review: Everything you need for your 141 PPL course. Textbook well written and easy to understand. Topics that will appear on the knowledge test are highlighted in each chapter. Price of the kit was cheaper than what my flight school was asking. The knowledge test manual that is aligned to the textbook needs to have the graphical references (sectionals, weather charts, airport information, etc) on the same or opposite page as the question(s) they relate to. Unfortunately, you must keep flipping back to the reference page to answer questions on subsequent pages

Awesome package with great value

  • By Shawn from MIAMI FL USA on Sunday, January 20, 2008
  • Pros: Awesome Kit everything included to start school and more
  • Cons: Sometimes I wish I had a video to see things in a different percpective
  • Review: The information is clear and concise, until you get to the airspace area and class airspace and then you want something more visual although you can find that on the internet. The weather section is next and it looks like a handful of information. I would recommend this to anyone interested in their private pilot but sometimes wonder if their cd selection was not a better choice. Well we will see.

A genuinely excellent product

  • By A Customer from New Jesey on Monday, October 23, 2017
  • Pros: Comprehensive and easly readable
  • Cons: none
  • Review: My original CFI asked that I purchase the Jeppesen GFD Private Pilot (training) kit, and I did so. I have no regrets whatsoever. As other reviewers have commented, the material is well organized, and well written. Much of the material is taken from the FAA publication The Pilot's Handbook, and from the FAA publication The Airplane Flying Handbook. However, the advantage of the Jeppesen kit is that all of the individual resources are linked to each other, and the Jeppesen kit, in total, is an excellent foundation for understanding and mastering both the knowledge aspects and the practical aspects of the Private Pilot examination process. Using this kit, I passed the written knowledge test without difficulty, as well as the oral portion of the Checkride. It should go without saying, however, that there is no substitute for cockpit time, and this material certainly cannot substitute for practical experience.

Great for new pilots!

  • By A Customer from Albuquerque NM USA on Tuesday, October 18, 2016
  • Pros: Great layout
  • Cons:
  • Review: I love the format and the flow of the whole course. I like that it is divided into many books and not just one overwhelming one. I took off a star because I would rather pay a little more for the books and get the videos too than pay a lot for the books and then need to pay a lot again for the videos.

I would buy this product again, if it had the flight computer with it.

  • By Ed Dellarco from Brookfield OH USA on Thursday, January 08, 2015
  • Pros:
  • Cons: No electronic E6B flight computer in the kit.
  • Review: The kit contained all the items necessary to get started on acquirine the private pilot certificate. However it did not contain an electronic E6B flight computer. Otherwise I would rate it a 5.

  • Review: I would have liked to have seen the test bank and questions in a computerized disc format. It would have made it a bit easier to study. Flight Computer was bent upon arrival
