Customer Reviews

Think you may want to fly? Excellent overview of flying for beginner

This is not a definitive book on flying but if you know anyone or you are a person who thinks they may want to take lessons it is a very easy to read overview of the sport/career. I think it would be a good reference for an advanced student too.

Excellent intro to Sport Flying!

This book provides a very comprehensive look at the Sport Flying (a faster, cheaper alternative to Private Pilot). From picking how to get started, picking an instructor, what you learn, applicable aircraft, etc.

Loved this book

If you have any interest in learning how to fly with the new sport pilot regs, this is your book. It tells you what you can fly, where you can fly and how to fly. I would suggest that you get a sectional chart (your local airport with a place to buy gas or hanger airplanes or the FAA), get the book and dream.

The sport pilot rule makes flying affordable!

A good primer on how the FAA's new sport pilot rule/light sport aircraft makes learning to fly easier and more affordable than ever before.

First book on sport pilot certificate!

I'm the primary author of THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO SPORT FLYING. Anticipating the dramatic changes to general aviation coming from the new FAA sport pilot and light-sport aircraft rules, I teamed up with one of the best flight instructors available to thoroughly research and present what the novice needs to know about getting into the new field of sport flying. It will get you off the ground and into the friendly skies in less time and for less money. The new rules took effect Sept. 1, 2004 and you can take advantage of them now!
