very glad to have found this software A lot of care and attention has gone into the design and construction of this video, in an effort to make it ideal for self learning. Each topic has its own distinct section, with animations and graphics included to help present information and data clearly. An easy to read script and well spoken narration will guide you through the 26 minute video that you can pause, rewind and fast forward as and when you need to so that you won't miss anything or waste any time on topics you've already covered.

You will learn about the common types of published instrument approach charts, from Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) to Area Navigation (RNAV), as well as the benefits of using them. Topics cover all the basic information presented in charts and the commonalities among the numerous different charts. You'll also learn how to read step-down descents, DME Arcs, holding patterns and many other details shown on these charts. On top of that, you can learn where to obtain official instrument charts for yourself.

It's alright, it's clear and effort has been made and it shows. I think I would probably liked it to be more if it was longer and more detailed.

I think how much you get out of it depends on what you know before you buy it.

If you tell me what additional details you have in mind, I will consider adding them to a future upgrade. Bill Stack
