betr_thn_Icarus Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 ASA virtual testprep....it makes all of the same claims as the regular testprep only you watch it on a set of DVD's then you also study the normal book some too. It is made by ASA....the big question is: Has anyone tried it? What do you think? I'm thinking of getting it for my commercial prep since I have the 07 commercial prep book and need a new one anyway. -SOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin DBC Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used the helicopter-specific portion for my PPL. It was really good for reviewing the maneuvers in my free time and it was set up in a very user-friendly, easy to understand manner. I can't vouch for the rest of the course, but I was definately glad I got the helicopter portion! J- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOATFIXERGUY Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used the CFI version. Although it is good, I prefer the King Schools overall. It does have a very good simulated test. Exactly like the FAA format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heligirl03 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I used the ASA dvds for private/instr/comm/cfi/cfii. WAY more complete and efficient than the books. Didn't even buy the books after Private. $50 a pop but worth it in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betr_thn_Icarus Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I paid $120 for my Commercial set but that came with 6 DVD's, the book(and computer reference), computer test program, and the helicopter dvd as well...oh and shipping too. So far I'm really liking it. I used the ASA dvds for private/instr/comm/cfi/cfii. WAY more complete and efficient than the books. Didn't even buy the books after Private. $50 a pop but worth it in my opinion. I feel that with the price we pay for ground and everything else it more than pays for it's self if it saves you some time anywhere else. When you paid $50 you say you didn't have a book? What did you use to reference the charts for the practice questions? For example when it says "See figure 5" I suppose it must come with that booklet huh?

fdhbdfiu Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I used the dauntless products for my FAA written PPL rotorcraft and PPL checkride. Very thorough products. Will use them again for future tests: http://www.dauntless-soft.com/Products/RId...asp?choose=heli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you paid $50 you say you didn't have a book? What did you use to reference the charts for the practice questions? For example when it says "See figure 5" I suppose it must come with that booklet huh? My thoughts exactly. What's $250 when you pay $50k for the whole deal?? Worth it without even blinking. The software provides a pop up figure which I really considered fine unless it was a chart, in which case it was next to useless. But I also had someone else's entire training library from 1998-2003, so I just used the old booklets cuz they don't come with the DVD. I guess they must like their pop-up graphics but how can you flight plan on the computer screen?!?! Anyway, NOTHING has changed and the old booklets did the trick.
