Learning to Fly with Flyvie & Jeppesen

Jeppesen and Flyvie may revolutionize the way student pilots learn to fly (and the way flight instructors approach flight training) by making actual flight lessons recordable, portable, and reviewable on the ground at the flight school, at home, and almost anywhere.

While I can see this being useful in helping a student get through a particular sticking point, the net result is that the instructor will end up clocking more time than absolutely needed with a student if this is incorporated into normal training.

This thing certainly has some entertainment value that could be useful in helping retain students if the cost doesn't exceed the benefit.

Will this really help a student train in less time for less money or the opposite?

Definitely not a search for a non-existent problem! This kind of solution is long since overdue and very much needed in the civilian flight training environments of today. The military uses INS/GPS spatio/visual post-flight debrief technology, so it makes sense to bring a similar concept to civil aviation.

It would be nice if aircraft manufacturers installed nose, wing and cockpit cameras as part of the aircraft's structure and then added a simple USB interface with native mp3 file format.

@Bur7568 might come in handy for some students in nvfr and ifr training, i'd want to record everything as a momento anyway. Hard disk space for computers aren't too expensive these days :D

this is the sort of thing i wanted at the start my own flight training, would come in handy for ifr.

for now i'll just have to stick with my cheap mp3 player plugged into the intercom.

Interesting idea but the extra cost (for the instructor) would be better spent on either more flight training or simulator time. The Flivie review might be useful for complex instrument approaches that went wrong (and the student didn't have a clue why) but for basic flight training I think Flyvie is a solution in search of a (non-existant) problem. Sometimes, "because we can" isn't a good enough reason.

To the owner of the video... Sorry for the "troll" comment. I see you deleted his anti Semitic post. Thanks for that. If I could edit that out of my comment I would.

Keep those Awesome vids coming!

I got it :-)

Pretty impressive that they could fit all that information, video and audio into a little card like that. Must be one of the new high capacity versions. Or really good data compression.

Looks like it would make for a good teaching tool. Would be interesting to see if it could find itself in other applications as well outside of Aviation.

Awesome Idea
