App Description

Polish off your skills on the two most exhilarating aspects of flying—takeoffs and landings. This video-based app goes in depth to explore the different types of takeoffs and landings and the factors that affect their outcome.

In-flight footage puts you in the cockpit for a pilot’s eye view of the different techniques and methods for smooth, safe operation. 3D graphics give insight into performance characteristics and help to reinforce key topics.

This app will help you maintain your takeoff and landing proficiency—great for students, instructors, and experienced pilots alike. With the intuitive menu, you’ll be able to quickly access the topics you want to watch.

Also included is a review quiz based on content from the videos. After finishing the questions you’ll receive instant feedback on your score and be able to review missed questions. There’s even a way to quickly review the video segment from which the question was taken.
