5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for every pilot's bookshelf,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual (The Flight Manuals Series) (Paperback)
This manual is necessary for any pilot's bookshelf. Kershner's manuals are not written as test guides, but they provide the knowledge with which to understand airplanes more fully and check out in advanced models. This book should be purchased and read shortly after obtaining the private pilot's license and before purchasing a test guide for the commercial written. Kershner's wealth of experience and easy humorous style makes for easy reading. He backs up what he says with appropriate equations and diagrams, and this makes for an authoritative source. One should not be scared off by the equations, since they can be ignored, but are available for reference. The diagrams are not slick and in color, but they do the job and keep the cost of the book down.
