Sporty’s Test Prep: The Commercial Ticket

Commercial maneuvers are "flown" graphically on videos, and described in test, with performance standards set out as we'll as common errors.

Sporty’s (www.sportys.com) recently expanded its line of interactive training materials with a Commercial Pilot Test Prep Course it offers for $149.99. Although advertised as a test prep course, it is, in our opinion, much more. It starts with the industry standard procedure for test prep courses—the student answers test questions, gets feedback as to why an answer is right or wrong and is directed to the appropriate reference (such as the FAA’s Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge), and the software keeps track of the student’s score so review can focus on weak areas.
