Customer Reviews

Great Starting Point and Well Rounded

Great way to learn about all subjects within the private pilot certification requirements. You probably don't want to use it solely for reference as it's written like a book. The book is VERY straight forward but if you don't like reading then this isn't the time to try.

Back to Flying

Been away from piloting for several years. This book is very helpful. A quick read for the seasoned pilot and a good reference for the newbie.

Very good pre-flight-training book

Read this book to whet your appetite before starting flight training. Great information, great tips that you'll carry with you once you start flying.

A Novice Review

I am a novice learner, but this book was a recommendation from a dear friend who is a PhD in Aerospace. The title has never disappointed when it comes to finding facts. The treatment on Bernoullis principle and the lift geenration and air foil design is delightful to go through. I couldnt understand the interplay of Angle of Attach and Speed and lift, from even the stick and rudder title. Excellent conceptual treatment for a class of books which are geared to be operator's manuals.

The Complete Private Pilot

This is an excellent book for people who want to learn how to become a private pilot. The book came on time and in great condition. It has good practice tests and answers at the end of every chapter. I highly recommend this book.
