Someone is trying to make a fast buck when a google search will get you this publication for free on the FAA website. So no to kindle spam.

Hi..This book arrived in perfect condition from the seller. I think it is a good source of information for the new student pilot, or a source of enjoyment for wannabees like me. I actually build and fly radio controlled aircraft, so understanding more about flight is a plus. Also from time to time I go up with friends who have their license and its fun to actually know what is going on and how things work.

I am a flight instructor and used this book to teach. This book explains, in detail, all of the maneuvers and procedures necessary to pass your private and commercial pilot practical tests. It is a must have for all pilots of all skill levels, weather you want to study for your test, or just brush-up on your skills.
