Cessna 172 review

I haven't flown in many years. Before using a computer flight simulator I needed a review of the Cessna 172. This book provided just what I was looking for. It will not teach me how to fly but, it will bring back once known facts and settings of this aircraft and make X-Plane more meaningful. Cost very reasonable, shipping was quick and the book was well packaged.

A USEFULL HANDBOOK FOR 172's 1976-1985 MODELS

I find this a usefull handbook. It is limited to the 172s built from 1977 to 1985. This restriction has made it less interesting for me, since I own a 172 built in 1967. It is clearly written, easy to read, with practical information covering all important issues.

Use it as a companion to your Owner's Handbook

It covers almost everything you may want to know if you neeed to fly a Cessna 172 and you have no previous experience with it. It is not a substitute for the POH but I am sure you will read this book from page page 1 to the end and you will be satisfied.

Worthy companion to your POH

This book is for the renter as well as owner. Written a style similar to the owners manual you get with your car rather than the somewhat dry text of the Pilots Operating Handbook. It is not a substitute for the POH! I did not give it a full 5 stars because it only covers the 1977 onward models. If you are flying anything earlier than a Model N or one of the more "exotic" versions of the Skyhawk, this book will be of limited value.

An excellent factual presentation of the Cessna 172

A clear factual presentation of the C 172. Very useful for anyone who is learning this aircraft.
