Best Pilot Online Store

If you are a pilot or thinking about becoming one Sporty’s Pilot Shop is your go to online store. Don’t think about going anywhere else. I have been flying for two years and I always choose Sporty’s first.

The books I ordered came all beat up…

The books I ordered came all beat up because they were shipped in a bag with no padding rather than a box. I paid $103.76 for damaged books.

Update: I paid to ship back the damaged books to Sporty's. They replaced the books with new ones, two of them still in their plastic wrap and in good condition. However, the FAR/AIM came without a plastic wrap and it was damaged on the top corner of the book. This time the books at least came shipped in a box, but with no protective packaging inside. So the smaller FAR/AIM book got thrown about inside the box during shipping.

Battery pack is nice; compact yet w/so much storage!

Battery pack is nice! Knee board looks great! The product description for knee boards could be/have more details. (Ex. does a specific iPad fit in the kneeboard with a protective case already on the iPad.) All three products, including the mod, are gifts and they look great! Thank you.
