Good instructor, but...

I was disappointed in the video's resolution, in particular, in-flight views of the 530W map screen. The waypoints are not easily readable, if at all. I would have preferred an animation, or at least, a closer view of the screen. In some segments, I could not identify waypoints mentioned in the audio, because they were either illegible or off screen. When NAV indicators are part of the instruction, a split screen may have worked better than showing unnecessary panel area. Approach plates for each lesson can be viewed in the app but not printed. A workaround is to take a screenshot on the iPad and AirPrint from Photos, or email it to yourself and print it. There are ways to retain good resolution, even with highly compressed video. Had the map screens been sharper, I would have rated a 4 or 5.

This is a great follow up after you have mastered the content in their GNS 430W/530W Setup and Enroute App. The best part about these apps is that they focus on practical real life scenarios that you can adapt for your own situation.Don't be fooled by old school type apps that claim to cover the same material using outdated techniques and teaching approaches - this is very focused, high quality content that you can use immediately. It shows you exactly how to do it with the detail you want that is delivered in a very efficient and modern interface.

Enjoyed the video, and felt it was very well-organized and able to pick up many tips. I think I enjoyed it so much I felt like it ended too soon. Hint hint, make the next ones a little longer. I am hungry to learn more about the 530 and the secrets behind it.
