The Finer Points of Flying Launches Flight Training iPhone App

Always committed to employing the latest technologies to further improve ease and access to practical flight training, The Finer Points of Flying (www.TheFinerPoints.net) has joined forces with ForeFlight (www.ForeFlight.com) to develop the iPhone app, VFR Communications.
This five‐chapter instructional course available for the iPhone and iPod touch contains an hour of high‐definition video, computer animation and instruction from Jason Miller, recently nominated FAA flight instructor of the year. Each video provides in‐depth coverage of airspace, including dimensions, charting, airspace entry requirements, and real‐world cockpit footage demonstrating how a proficient pilot communicates efficiently and effectively in complex airspace. This instructional course is perfect for private pilots brushing up before a biennial flight review or check‐out, student pilots that desire a learning tool that goes beyond the content normally presented in a standard instructional flight lesson, or enthusiasts wanting to learn how pilots really communicate when navigating simple and complex airspace. Like nothing you’ve seen before. Filmed in stunning 1080i High Definition and completed with Computer Graphic Imaging and a fresh personality. It’s virtually all the instruction you’ll need. VFR Communications is available at Apple’s App Store at iTunes. The DVD version of the course is also available for purchase at TheFinerPoints.net.
