Customer Reviews

Good investment

A new approach to improve on your license or if your a student a way to help you along with less frustration. This product was well worth the time if you sit and take it seriously it will greatly help you. This tool is good for more than just flying though, it will help you in every day life.

Excellant Format

Extremely well written. Provides great descriptions of sometimes difficult to understand/visualize aviation concepts. I appreciated how the chapters were organized ... starting with the necessities (foundational concepts/basic math) and gradually stepping up the level of complexity with each subsequent chapter. Plenty of room for margin notes when there is a need to jot down and "fyi" or two.

Still haven't finished reading but

so far it gave me a very good impression! I strongly recommend, even for non-pilots. It's a very good book to sharpen everyday mental-math-skills! Enjoy!

Excellent study guide

If you are a little underconfident with your math skills,... Helped me review my math formulas and feel much more confident about having to do math in an airline interview. Good study book!

Excellent Interview Prep

This book covers all the neat little tricks to getting the job done quickly and right. It is also a great book for interview prep. Goes into detail on how to do the math problems and gives several ways to do the problems. There are also review problems at the end of each chapter. A must buy for interviews or if you are just looking for a way to make your flying job easier.
