New Breed of Software for Pilots

Powerful Learning, Inc. has introduced four new software products for General Aviation Pilots; the Private Pilot Study System, the Instrument Pilot Study System, the VFR Pilot Review System and the IFR Pilot Review System. These software packages are built around an entirely new concept that enables a student to learn more in less time and an already certificated or rated pilot to continue learning and increase knowledge and understanding.

The Study System software series is designed to aid the student working towards a Private Pilot Certificate or Instrument Rating. These products will help students prepare for the FAA knowledge test and flight test, and should be used from the first day of training. The Review System series is designed for the pilot who already has a certificate or instrument rating and needs to continue the learning process and/or prepare for a flight review.

What makes this software so unique is that in every package, a comprehensive Aviation Library is bundled and integrated with the learning software. Everything gets copied onto the user’s hard drive during installation so no internet connection is required after installation. The library is built by Powerful Learning from the ground up to work with the learning software and is comprehensive, easy-to-navigate, and gets updated regularly from the company’s website. This means your FAR/AIM will always be current!

The software offers many unique functions such as an electronic flashcard mode (a great way to really challenge your knowledge) and library integration. The integration feature is at the heart of what makes this software so powerful. Because the reference library is ‘wrapped’ inside the software, the student has the ability to instantly access the information that is relevant to any question while working inside the learning environment.

No matter what question you are viewing, with one click, the appropriate book is retrieved from the library and opened to the correct chapter, page, and paragraph for that particular question. Not only that, but the relevant information is highlighted for instant recognition. Instead of spending your time searching for the information you need, you can spend your time learning the material. You will learn more in less time, increase your knowledge base, and understand the material better.

This software is a very comprehensive learning tool for pilots at every level. The Aviation Library is an excellent reference source and alone is worth the price of the software. The fact that it is integrated with the learning environment makes it even more powerful and unique.

Powerful Learning is currently running a promotion whereby qualified CFIs can download one fully functional copy of their software for free. See their website for more information. Free demo versions of their software can also be downloaded from their website at www.powerful-learning.com
