Customer Reviews

Excellent Basics

I bought this book for my son 12 year old to compose a career report and so he could understand this area of interest. The writing is clear and simple. Sections of the book need more development and updating. That aside the book provided a clear picture of what is required to start a career and what is possible. If you know little about the industry this is a great place to start. The material is basic but the book does contain good references for follow up and more detailed reading.

This book is FULL of useful information. A must have.

Judy's upfront approach and honest opinion gives her readers an advantage not given by others. Not only does she instruct you on how to become successful in your aviation career, she also helps you to avoid the MANY pitfalls made by other aspiring pilots before you. Also included were valuable references to related services, publications, and other tools used in the airline industry. If you only buy one book about a career in aviation, let it be this one!

Prospective pilots, IT'S ALL HERE!!!

I am considering a career in aviation, and Ms. Tarver's book was the perfect place to start. She's realistic, practical and encouraging at the same time. No one should consider a career in aviation before reading this book through at least two times. Thanks for the help, Ms. Tarver.

From a review from Flight Training magazine

When Judy Tarver speaks, at least when she speaks about airline pilot careers, the aspiring professional pilot should listen. This "seminar-to-go" book is chock-full of useful information on preparing for a professional pilot career. Judy covers education, building flight time, extracurricular activities, selecting flying jobs, and the importance of record keeping.
