For those that are interested in flying these lectures are made for you to understand exactly what you need to know to go the extra step and that is a Cockpit.

First of all I should thank the team for organizing this course, to empower individuals who have interest in pursuing a career in piloting. The course has really taught me the basics of becoming a good pilot, the fundamental factors to consider when flying a plane, navigation in all sort of environment. Above all I would prefer if you make PDFs available as well so that more content can be found in written formats and can be downloaded and use at any conveniences.

This isn't an average course , but rather a fully designed and detailed program with sufficient information and knowledge. Special thanks to the wonderful professionals who delivered such a profound sum of knowledge. I did enjoy every bit of it and it was well organised and well delivered with clarity and didactic modes
Many thanks -
Great course for aviation enthusiasts.
Good way to pass your Easter break if you wanna learn some stuff about aerospace and aeronautics. -
This course was both entertaining, and informative. I especially enjoyed the F-22 portion, that was a very fun treat.

I am 18 years old and have an interest in the aviation field. Even beginners can understand the class with ease, the course was really good and interesting. Personally, the class on the raptor was my favourite, and hoped it would have been a bit more longer.
In this class, they didn't stop with planes but they gave a basic knowledge of helicopters, drones etc. I would promote this class to anyone who needs a theoretical basic understanding of aviation. -

Useful course for those who is interested in flying and want to become pilot.Each part of this course is well taught and explained by experienced lecturer. To add this platform provide free course which is cherry on the cake because many students can’t go to MIT physically so this is the best way to pursue such good course from good college.
