Computer Based Training

[Callidus]

Greetings,

I would like you opinions on Computer based training. The reason I ask is that I spend a great deal of time near PC's as I work in IT. I find good visual information easier to process and store. Reading on the screen is (would you believe) easier for me than printed word. I don't have an issue of going down the Book route however, if the CBT alternative in your view is as comprehensive, then I feel this would be the better option for myself.

The series I have been looking at are the 6 Disk PPL CBT and its book set equivalent.

I'm asking you this and not a school as I have a thirst for knowledge and am yet to choose where to learn (Currently trail flying local schools).

Regards
Callidus

OAT Media got me through my PPL(H)

Their CD ROM training is top stuff for Met, Law, Radio etc etc

(and no, I am not affiliated in any way)

I second that. The met CD got me through CPL/IR level met.

I agree. OAT set is excellent, but I also used the Confuser and I think Airquiz.com is great. I still needed the books though for easy reference purposes on occasion.

Hello,

I am using the CBT’s and I do share the same opinion that they are a value to your learning, I like the interaction it makes learning easier and more effective in my opinion than just sitting there and reading a book because sometimes it makes you go to sleep… Air Law for example

The confuser will probably be my next purchase and LysanderV8, Ill give the Airquiz.com a try!
