In preparing for my private pilot written exam, I told myself I was going to set aside a certain number of hours each week to study. I bought a set of DVDs and course books to take me through the process.
Though I started out well, my effort began to flag in zeal. I had professional and family responsibilities that took a large amount of time, plus I was taking flying lessons.
When it became obvious that I was getting close to my check ride and still was not prepared for the written, I panicked and decided to bite
the bullet and take a weekend course in Memphis offered by Aviation Seminars.Though reluctant to go this route - I really felt like I was admitting defeat - circumstances determined otherwise. And, you know, I'm glad I did.
It was a grueling two days in some respects, but the instructor was extremely knowledgeable and reinforced the essential elements. Sure, it was geared strictly to enable you to pass the written, but I feel I learned a lot nevertheless.
I'd love to get some feedback on your experience with these types of classes and your opinions on the subject. Do you feel these courses short-circuit the learning process and only provide a quick-fix? Or, do you see them as valid options?
