Book Overview

This is not AI-generated content. The contents were created by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company.

Anyone interested in pursuing a Private Pilot, Sport Pilot, or Recreational Pilot Certificate needs this textbook. In a friendly, readable style, the author, a long-admired member of the aviation community, comprehensively covers all the details involved in the adventure of learning to fly.

An FAA Knowledge Exam is required to earn a Private Pilot Certificate. Using the FAA exam as the foundation for learning, Bob Gardner applies practical information, preparing readers not only for the test, but also for taking flight. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge with specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A provided full-color example of a sectional chart supports the many interactive exercises throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with review questions that simulate those found on the FAA test. A comprehensive glossary and index are included to simplify study. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is only available in The Complete Private Pilot

Includes links to helpful resources on the internet for weather charts, flight planning information, and more. For instructors, an available integrated flight/ground school syllabus for both Part 141 and Part 61 programs enhances the textbook.

Great Starting Point and Well Rounded

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

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

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

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

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

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.
