Flying Understood!

Robert L. Taylor approaches the subject of flying with a good understanding of the subject and its variables. No book is going to be complete and answer everyone's questions and fulfill everyone's needs on the subject of flying. He approaches his subject well and gives a great deal of information without being overwhelming. Most pilots, whether in the real world or simulation pilot's have just one book to answer all their questions and give them information. They have a library of many different books which address many different phases of the same subject. This is one of those books that needs to be in that library.

the genious behind the book

this is a very good book for begining flyers

Very informative on the basics of aeronautics and navigation

This was the first great book I've read concerning aviation. With only moderate knowledge of aviation previous to reading this book, I was very pleased with the enormous amount I had learned. Though it is very informative and intended for adult readers, this is not at all a complex, hard-to-understand book. I read it a few years ago when I was about ten or eleven years old.
