What people are saying:

"Today I achieved a dream of many years: I became a Private Pilot. There are a number of people I need to thank for their support, and that certainly includes Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc. Your Private Pilot Prepware was excellent and was one of the key resources I used in preparing for my written and oral exams. I scored a 95 on my written, and my oral exam also went extremely well. I just wanted to thank you for a great product and great after-purchase support. Thanks, again, for helping me achieve a life goal." —Curtis M. Wall, McDonough, Georgia

"I used the Private Pilot Prepware ’08 to review for my written exam. As a college professor, I wouldn’t allow myself to memorize any of the questions. I worked through all the questions several times to become familiar with the testing format and studied the material that I missed or didn’t understand. Everything was by self-study and was reinforced by reading several instructional texts. I took the test yesterday and scored 100%. I currently only have 7 hours of lessons in my log book, but I wanted to get the written out of the way. This software allowed me to work through the material efficiently and effectively and was quite easy to use. Highly recommended!" —Timothy Steele, Ph.D., Des Moines, Iowa
