Great for Brushing Up!
- By Amber from Portland OR USA on Monday, February 24, 2014
- Pros: Really easy to use and straightforward. Simplifies the information.
- Cons: I wish that the "quizzes" had you talk without seeing the word phrasing to choose from. I feel because of that I don't retain as much of the information.
- Review: This is a great product for practicing communication and getting a review on different airspace rules, nomenclature, phrasing, etc.

COMM 1 VFR
- By A Customer from Columbia MS USA on Saturday, December 03, 2016
- Review: As a student pilot Comm1 VFR CD was very helpful for a beginner to learn what to say and when to say it. It was very helpful but the program could be updated it's a little slow so it takes some time to go through. That said I would definitely recommend it to anyone it will help get comfortable on the radio no doubt!!!

- By Pam from SantaCruzCAUSA on Wednesday, October 28, 2009

- By R22 Student Pilot from Brooklyn, NY on Tuesday, March 06, 2007
- Review: I am currently training for my VFR Helicopter rating and Comm1 VFR training program has been a great help. I use the program before every flight lesson and I found out that it has help me focus more on my flying instead of my radio communications. One thing that I wish that they would improve on Comm1 is to allow me to pick an airport so that all example and training scenarios are of my home airport and region. Besides that, it is a great program that gets me into flying mode when I am getting ready to train on the weekends.

A little antiquated
- By A Customer from Pasadena CA USA on Wednesday, February 17, 2010
- Pros: Informative, Effective
- Cons: Antiquated, Old Software
- Review: This product works quite well. It introduces the user to all types of ATC scenarios and instructs you on proper radio opperations...it just does it in a 1990 software environment. :/

Great Product!
- By Jacques from Timmins, ON, Canada on Tuesday, December 14, 2010
- Pros: Offers a playback of your voice after each exercise so that you can hear what you sound like.
- Cons: Ocasionally the voice recognition is too sensitive or ot sensitive enough (but only very occasionally)
- Review: It met my expectations exactly and does what they say it does very well. It really does help you get over mic fright and lets you focus on flying instead of worrying about radio work.

Good Product, Could Use some some improvement
- By Stephen from Cullowhee NC USA on Monday, April 13, 2009
- Pros: Good Information, Good teaching tool, An example of almost every possible scenario
- Cons: Could use multiple examples for more complicated topics (clearance delivery, class B airspce), no good self-review method
- Review: This product does what it advertises, and has helped me with my towered communications. As a new pilot that spends most of my time flying in uncontrolled airspace, venturing into Class B and C airspace was intimidating. Using the practice found in this product, I feel much more comfortable than I would have without it. My one complaint is their presentation method works very well for teaching, not for reviewing or making sure the student has really grasped the information. Each communication has a "scripted" response that must be selected and read back verbatim. While this method is excellent during the learning phase, it does little to insure complete comprehension during review or extra practice.

Extremely useful tool for the student pilot
- By A Customer from Buffalo NY USA on Tuesday, August 25, 2009
- Pros: Simple, well organized, concise.
- Cons: Tuning the radio is a nuisance.
- Review: For a student pilot, the product exceeded expectations. The program is simple to follow and presents the material in a standardized rationale format. It is an introductory product that will get the student pilot off and running. More experienced pilots can also use this product to bolster their radio knowledge. Having the opportunity to practice the calls live is essential in building confidence. Adding some interactive practice flights to towered and non-towered airports would increase the value of this product.
