Customer Reviews

Great for all pilots!5
This book is definitely a must-have if you want to learn how to fly. It covers all aspects of piloting airplanes in a very precise way, with hundreds of illustrations to help with the descriptions. It's good for more than just amateur pilots as well, since it was only recently released by the FAA.

CFI Recommended5
I find I reference this text numerous times with each student pilot I work with. It is concise and accurate and a fine tool for teaching as well as learning. It might help to know that many of the questions asked on both the Aeronautical Knowledge Tests and the FAA Oral come directly from this book. Add Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge: FAA-H-8083-25, December 2003 (FAA Handbooks series) (a new version) and you have an excellent start to a training library.

Great book for a refresher or beginner!5
I bought this book for a friend that is just starting his training to get his license. I was so impressed after flipping though it, that I ordered one for myself as a refressher. I highly recommend it.
