A couple of questions.

1:

Has anyone used the Sporty's Private Pilot DVD's? How are they? I recieved the sample DVD in the mail and it really helped quite a bit. I'm not sure if they just choke that full of useful information to make it seem better then it is or not. Is it worth the $200.00 for the whole PPL dvd kit? Does anyone have the PPL kit and are looking to get rid of it?

2:

What are the requirements for flying out of the US? Say if I want to fly to Canada from Illinois how would I go about doing that with just my PPL? Do I have to check in anywhere with my passport? Is it the same for Mexico?

I think the Sportys kit is great. I have one. Check with your fbo to see if they will use that curriculum. Some dont.

Thanks, I'll ask today whether or not they will use it.

The Jeppesen Private Pilot kit will provide you with everything you need to become a compitent PP and pass the checkride. I guess it all depends on how you learn? If having visual/oral instruction (like a dvd) is your way, then I guess it could help, but if you ask me, your paying a lot of extra money for material already offered in the jep kit.
