December, 2009 Thank you for providing excellent Private Pilot training material! I took my written test for my license on December 11, 2009, and passed with a 93%. The Gleim material had me well prepared for the exam. When I started working on my license, my CFI suggested using the Gleim system. He didn't steer me wrong. The comprehensive program made me feel very confident in taking the written exam. What helped me the most was taking the practice exams on my computer using the CD with all of the practice testing options. Reviewing what I had answered incorrectly and understanding why I had answered incorrectly by using the correct follow up answers from the CD proved most helpful. My thanks to everyone at Gleim. David Lynch

		November, 2009 Your ability to construct a course of instruction is unmatched in the industry. Your formatting is exceptional and the methodologies in presenting the material is excellent. Please continue to keep the material current as I rely on your expertise in this particular area. Tommy L. Schmitt

		September, 2009 This is probably the most effective study guide and test taking procedure I've ever endured. Michael Moore

		September, 2009 I'd like to thank all those at Gleim who helped me to achieve a 96% on the FAA Commercial exam.  I studied your red book for many many months and sent a few inquiries to you.  Several on your staff helped me. Again, I want to thank you a million. If I'd not had the Gleim book I'd probably have schlepped by with another [bad] grade [and a] poor understanding of what was covered.  The answers in the Gleim book helped me to learn huge amounts that I'd otherwise have never ever learned.  As a result I am a way way safer pilot.  Matter of fact, if I ever find the time I think I'll go back and buy the Gleim book on IFR and learn it properly and maybe even retake the FAA exam just for satisfaction.  Oh, and I bought the Gleim CD-ROM and it too was a huge help! Thank you again and a million too. Kevin Lambert

		August, 2009 I listen to the audio then print, study at work the next day then take the quiz that night, then repeat. I really like this course! Albert Arnold

		August, 2009 Excellent presentation and clarity, more than other online aviation courses I have ever done. Baniji Regnault

		August, 2009 I like the course study...overall a very good study tool! Travis Geist

		August, 2009 I am positive that anyone using The Gleim Private Pilot On-line Course, CD's, FAR/AIM Book, as I did with the proper dedication will certainly Succeed in the FAA exam Ricardo (Ric) Carrano, Private Pilot (07/31/2009)

		August, 2009 The course is excellent. The format is set up for a person who best studies of their own pace. This completion is the sixth or seventh time I have been involved with Gleim. The entire course has been very satisfactory. Walter Hart

		August, 2009 I tried other CFI renewal courses, but I find the CFI renewal course from Gleim to be the most effective at transfering the knowledge I need to be an effective Instructor and a more learned pilot. Their logical format and protocol makes it easy in learning the material and more importantly, understanding it. I would recommend the Gleim CFI Renewal to anyone who wants the best course available to them Richard Longlott - ATP CFII SD3-30, LR45, CE550, CE650

		August, 2009 I took the instrument rating knowledge exam today, and scored 98%, thanks to your book and online ground school! You guys provide such a great service, and it doesn't stop with the software, books, and material itself. Your customer service is outstanding, and I think more businesses should model after you. Mike Flanagan

		August, 2009 As a mechanical engineer with some academic background in fluid mechanics, I have always found the FAA materials on aerodynamics to be far below any reasonable standard of accuracy. Your material, on the other hand, adheres to a very high standard of accuracy. Thank you! Anonymous

		August, 2009 Both good value and very informative with lots of links to outside sources. Well done Gleim, I acutally enjoyed it :) Gary J Evans

		August, 2009 This is at least the third time I have used the Gleim FIRC course. I have considered others, but each time I come back to Gleim. Why would I want to change?! Each time I'm given an outstanding review of pertinent information for me to remain fresh on as an instructor. At the same time, I've always been informed of a few changes that I'd either forgotten or overlooked. Each time I complete the Gleim FIRC, I believe I've been better equipped to be an effective instructor and that has been borne out by subsequent comments from a number of my students. I have recommended this course to all the instructors I've worked with or met. To the last, everyone who has taken my advice has made sure to thank me and confirmed my recommendation: Gleim is the FIRC course to use in renewing your certificate and improving as an instructor. I have nothing but positive things to say and MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Gleim FIRC!!! Bradley S Smith

		August, 2009 Easy to understand and navigate through. Brent Gaffney

		August, 2009 The information and video presentations are excellent. This course cleared up many questions in my mind concerning the GNS 530. Nice work! Steven Campbell

		August, 2009 An excellent review which will allow me to present this information in a manner that a student will absorb more easily. Rock Rockcastle, CFII/MEI - - National Flight Instructor of the Year (1989) and NAFI Master CFI

		July, 2009 Thank you! I have been using your Ground School programs for my last several FAA Written Exams. I am pleased that with the help of your programs, I have never gotten a score below a 98%. I recommend your program to all of my students and fellow pilots. Nelson Reticence

		July, 2009 My husband and I have both used Gleim to renew our CFIs multiple times. As busy aviation professionals this is the best way to get the renewal done with the most knowledge benefit and efficiency. Joanne M. Damato

		July, 2009 I find the material presented in the Pilot Refresher Course to be directly relevant and helpful to approaching a forthcoming Biennial Flight Review with confidence, and staying abreast of subject matter necessary to maintaining the skill level necessary to be a safe and competent pilot. David Gratta

		June, 2009 Excellent course. Simple to navigate and the level of material is appropriate. I like being able to study/complete the FIRC at my own pace. Thanks! Bradley J DeVries

		June, 2009 This is my first time renewing my CFI using a FIRC. and is the best course I found online. AOPA weekend courses didnt fit my work schedule. and I American Flyers, though cheap was not engaging and I couldnt sit through it. With Gleim you could download the course chapters and read it off line, then take the quiz later. I made four transcontinental trips this week(in 6 days). I got 12 chapters done. So even when I was cooped up in an airplane, as long as I had my laptop, I could progress; with or without connection to the internet. For anyone who has renewed with a mere rating every 2years, I strongly recommend you supplement it with this system. There are MANY changes since I last was a full time flight instructor. Some really interesting and fun sounding things are being done in light GA now. Gleim worked best best for me because they understand the learning process. They may not have cool videos. And they may not be the cheapest. But they are the best. Jeff Dunn, 1B9

		June, 2009 I am not a full time CFI and it is the only way for me to renew. I can work at my own pace at home when time allows. Great course this is my 3rd renewal with Gleim see you in 2 years. Thanks Mr. Craig Humes

		June, 2009 Excellent materials,AV presentation,outline format, and the use of the True and False testing to survey latent knowledge about a particular unit made this IPRC relevant to my Flying ASEL Instructor/Ground AGI, IGI Instructor success in communicating with my aviation students. Jim Pappas, Tarpon Springs Florida

		June, 2009 You guys are amazing.  One complete hour passed from the time you signed for my documents until you posted them on the web site.  Even we are not that efficient!  Good work!!  I will recommend you to anyone and everyone. Thomas Reeves, CFII/MEI

		June, 2009 The outlines on all of the lessons are very detailed.  They don't just give the rote information needed to pass the quizzes; they offer helpful tips to use while instructing.  Some of the examples and advice for explaining difficult concepts are presented in ways I wouldn't have thought of. Anonymous

		June, 2009 Clear, effective. Excellent. Gregory Gordon, CFII, AGI, IGI

		June, 2009 A year after the water rating I was determined to get my instrument rating and the first thing my new instructor told me to do was get through the Gleim instrument course.  Subsequently, I did very good on the written and passed the practical on the first try.  While I credit my instructor with bringing my flying skills into the 21st century, my IFR rating could not have been achieved without the Gleim course. Anonymous

		June, 2009 I really think that it is a great service to the aviation community that Gleim provides with its training materials and therefore I was particularly happy to see that Gleim has put together this seaplane course.  While there are some other water flying training programs out there, the application of the Gleim approach to seaplane ops is a great resource for both aviation students and experienced pilots. Anonymous

		May, 2009 Very sound techniques with proper emphasis on Situational Awareness Only for VOR/ILS approaches. I strongly agree with the habit pattern of setting all approaches in the GPS and following the prompts. Proper emphasis on reviewing points in the approach, a weak point I've seen frequently. Anonymous, CFI

		May, 2009 This is a very useful course. It has helped me as an Instructor to better understand and to teach the proper use of this equipment. I will recommend it to others wishing to learn the details of the Garmin 530. William Carter, CFI

		May, 2009 I've been a pilot since 1992, and I still learned new things from your course, as well as brushing off cobwebs from some things I knew but hadn't thought about for a while. Thanks for your responses to my comments. It's so rare to get personal answers and responses these days that I was very, although pleasantly, surprised! Anonymous

		May, 2009 I'm using the sea plane course as a refresher, as I already have the rating. However, I haven't flown floats in a few years, so the course is very helpful. Anonymous

		April, 2009 Great online course. Harley Myler

		April, 2009 I have found that the information is up to date with new standards from my older training. This is really making me think and putting me in to a more alert and safety mode. Jeffrey Gilbert

		April, 2009 Lesson: 1: Emergencies. True/False: Excellent. This is as advertised, A great way to get the brain warmed up for the upcoming exercise. Outline: Excellent. This brings to light things that have been place way back in my mind and that should be at the front for safety. Multiple Choice: Excellent. Again this was arranged in a manner that made me think twice about a couple of questions. It's to easy to shoot from the hip, you must think before answering. Comment Submitted: I'm very thankful that I found this prior to my flight review. I've gotten a little rusty and complacent over the years. Jeffrey Gilbert

		April, 2009 This course is a must for the future seaplane applicant. Don Lee

		April, 2009 This course gets better as I progress. It's a great review for me. Rock Rockcastle, CFII/MEI. National Flight Instructor of the Year (1989) and NAFI Master CFI

		April, 2009 What's great about [the G530 course] is allowing (and requiring) the student to turn the knobs. GREAT idea!  That is really the only way I have found to familiarize oneself with this fairly complicated equipment.  Truly a GREAT way to learn this [unit]. I appreciate your company's commitment to aviation and training! Richard Averwater, CFI/CFII

		April, 2009 Very impressed with how the course moves along and kept my interest. Anonymous

		April, 2009 Study Unit 1 is excellent, especially the opportunity to review the subject repeatedly. Anonymous

		April, 2009 The method of quizzing was very good with emphasizing less key strokes the better the score. This promotes less heads down in the cockpit and more concentration on flying the airplane as well as looking inside and outside, thus promoting better collision avoidance and situational awareness. A very good course. Jim Hamilton

		April, 2009 For the past six years I have renewed my CFI with Gleim. This is what all experienced instructors need. Jim Hamilton

		March, 2009 Overall, the course was simply outstanding! I was particularly pleased with the amount of information that was specified as new or changed. I will continue to recommend the FIRC to anyone willing to listen. Thanks a bunch! Don White

		March, 2009 The Gleim systems are great! They are the sole reason why I pass with flying colors on every FAA written exam I have ever taken. If you study consistently and follow the course, you certainly will not only pass, but get a great score on the exam. I have never scored below a 94% and I have taken 7 FAA written exams, using Gleim for each one. I do not recommend any other learning system to any of my students or fellow pilots. Gleim is it! Freddie Ephraim, CFI/CFII/MEI

		March, 2009 Great course. It is a good combination of material presentation and user integration with the simulator. [Referring to Garmin 530] Matt Boucher

		March, 2009 REALLY a REFRESHMENT COURSE... You challange yourself, and learn... With JOY..[Referring to IARC] Carlos Mari

		March, 2009 I thoroughly enjoy Gleim's FIRC for its format, information content, & convenience. The format of the course is excellent with the True / False portion serving as an excellent baseline knowledge test & personal review. The lesson outlines are very informative, well organized, & serve as excellent reference sources (after the course) - very well done! The convenience of the course is impossible to beat since I can complete a lesson anywhere (with my laptop) on my schedule. Living in a relatively small city, I especially like not having to travel to a major metropolitian area to complete a weekend CFI Refresher course. Over the years I have renewed my CFI every which way (ie, check ride, weekend course, other Companies' Refresher Courses) and continue to find Gleim the best! I plan to use Gleim again & again. Gleim has my highest recommendation! Shawn Hollick

		March, 2009 I have recently passed my FAA written exam. Your test preparation book was superb and helped me to stay focused on the pertinent subject areas and related test questions. I look forward to utilizing your excellent Knowledge Transfer System in the future and will recommend them to other aviation enthusiasts! Keep up the great work. Patrick McNamara

		February, 2009 I want to express my gratitude to everyone at Gleim who draft and produce these terrific knowledge test manuals. I took the FOI test (LaserGrade) last Friday and my score was 100. Each and every question in the knowledge test was written exactly as in Gleim's FOI book! I am studying for the Flight/Ground Instructor Knowledge Test and will let you know of the results. Miguel Garay

		February, 2009 I have been a CFI for 38 years with many forms of renewal, the past 4 with Gleim. I have found the course and more importantly the support to be excellent. Each study unit had a very professional response to the question. Dick Nelson

		February, 2009 The Gleim FIRC was a great help in keeping up to date and finishing my instructor renewal. Paul Sanberg, MCFI

		February, 2009 This is what an IA refresher course should be all about. Not sitting for 8 hours listening to vendors talk about their products. Thank you. Terry Obrien

		January, 2009 I think this is a great FIRC. One can do it at their own pace. When you print the study sessions, you can study, and digest the information. I will do it again next time also. Thanks for all your help. C.J. Pucciariello

		October, 2008 This is the second or third time I've taken the Gleim FIRC and I'll be back in two years. My schedule, like everyone, is pretty maxed out at times. Being able to complete my FIRC at my own speed as time permits is the most convenient way for me to do it. It's nice to attend a course with other CFI's if you have the time and money for the interaction part, but to be honest, I don't want to spend my time in a classroom on a rigid schedule. Your course is very well put together, provides all of the information needed to stay current on changes that have taken place and provide me with a nice reference source. Good Job! Dayton Miller

		September, 2008 Thanks for the innovative learning processes that you've created to pass the Private Pilot knowledge test. I used the Gleim package combined with a two hour weekly meeting with my flight instructor to study independently. I took the test three months from the date I received your package and, yesterday, I "aced" the exam. The best thing about it is that I didn't just know the answers, the Gleim package actually taught me how to solve the problems and what the answers meant. Thanks, again! Eric Graham

		September, 2008 I have been impressed with Gleim at every turn. This was my 5th test taken using your test prep software and I have scored 95% on the ATP, 100% on the FE, 100% on the FOI, and 99% on the FIA. You make one of the most effective products I have ever used and I recommend you to everyone I know. Gary Bell
