Approaches GARMIN GNS430/530W

For $29 you get: 6 videos for a total of 42 minutes, 4 approach plates, 4 checklist acronyms and a 10 question quiz. I'll let the readers judge the value for themselves but I want my money back.

To provide a professional and wonderful video operations as a reference template. Process and easy to understand the reality of the flight route navigation. It my flight work of great help

Will not work with iOS 6. Very disappointing that they are not ahead of iOS releases.

Bought the iPad app and the intro loaded up with good video but once it completed and went to the main menu, only the audio would play.

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.

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.

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 Don't be fooled by old school type apps that claim to cover the same material using outdated techniques and teaching approaches - this is very focused, high quality content that you can use immediately.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.

This is a great app! Someone finally started creating real-world training that takes you on an actual scenario. In the air training with great explanations and video makes this app a real up and comer. I recommend it highly.

great content from good CFIIs, keep up producing more of these videos, short field/crosswind landings etc

I learned a lot.
