A brand new take on 737NG pilot training has just landed on your iPad, iPhone and iPod!
(Note: The PC/Windows version of this app is available at: www.fs2crew.com )
Are you a professional pilot gearing-up for initial or recurrent 737NG training (FAA or JAA), looking for an inexpensive and efficient way to help arrive at your course "prepared"?
Are you a professional 737 maintenance engineer looking to expand or refresh your knowledge of this aircrafts systems?
Are you an avid flight simmer who wants to take your understanding of 737NG systems to the highest level?
Or are you just an aviation enthusiast fascinated by the 737 and its technicalities?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then FS2Crews new "Audio Ground School" for the 737NG series was designed with you in mind.
Four ways our program is different from traditional CBT training:
1. Anyone can buy it. A lot of CBT developers only sell to established Flight Training units, not individuals.
2. Its extremely well priced when compared with many other professional CBT programs that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
3. Our program is pure audio (but its backed by professionally designed cockpit posters as you can see from the screen shots). There are no animations or on-screen text. The reason we did it this way is because listening to audio forces you to take notes and become a mentally active participant in the learning process which assists memory retention. By using audio, it also forces you to focus completely on the material, whereas many other CBT programs can lead you to becoming mentally passive during the learning experience. With our innovative learning system we believe we have found a way to overcome these hurdles.
4. The audio in our program was recorded by a real-world 737NG Captain with years of actual line flying experience. He does more than just talk about lights, switches and systems, he also discusses issues relevant to 737NG flight operations that "arent found in any book", things that only someone with thousands of hours of actual experience operating the aircraft would actually know.

Latest reviews of 737NG Audio Ground School app for iPhone and iPad
I had hoped to use this while driving and catch up on systems but the app does not keep audio running once the phone puts the screen to sleep. For what It does it was not worth the money.
Piece of sheet , real price 1$
Not worth $19. $2.99 max for the effort. Reader is very dry and reads as if speaking to children. (Think .....bueller.........bueller?) very monotone Cannot walk away and listen if your iPad sleeps in short intervals. Needs to remain playing just like music does. Good intent, needs significant improvement before anyone should pay this much for it. Add some excitement fix the bugs
Why?
Audio is hard to understand. Voice is monotone and not well spoken. Very hard to follow diagrams and discussions are just not clear. I do not see any value at all in this program. If anybody cares I have almost 6000 hrs in a 737 and I couldnt make heads or tails out of some of the discussions. A rip off at the current price.
