4.0 out of 5 stars
yep, the bureaucrats can do something right!,
By
This review is from: Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA Handbooks) (Paperback)
I used an earlier edition of this excellent book while I was learning to fly the Piper Cub. I found it very helpful, especially when I was sitting down in the evening and trying to figure out what I'd been doing wrong that morning (or less often, what I'd done right). I was using Wolfgang Langeweisch's fabled "Stick and Rudder" at the same time and for the same purpose, and believe me, the FAA did it better! I found it especially helpful when it came to grasping the ideas of pattern work, final approach, and short-field and soft-field takeoffs and landings. I recommend it highly to the new student pilot.

This review is from: Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA Handbooks) (Paperback)
From cover to cover this handbook provides nothing but information! absoutely great!Profusely illustrated, in very clear language, the book discusses in absolute slow motion all the intricate maneuvers, taxiing, takeoffs, climbs, patterns, approaches, landings, instrument, multi engine, tailwheel, sailplane, skiplanes(yep!) and a lot more. Every time I read this book I pickup something new. This is an invaluable resourse especially for the student pilot! also, a great companion on those days you can't fly :).

5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of info,
By Chris Barthel (Oklahoma City, OKlahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA Handbooks) (Paperback)
This is a good book to use during your flight training, and after as you work on more advanced ratings. This book has simple explenation on to preform all the maneuvers you will pretty much eer need for any checkride. That's what i got out of it the most. It also goes into flying mulit and seaplanes, both of which are prety good sections with good info. If you are looking for a book full of aerodynamics and how planes fly this is not it however. This book is simply put, Practical. If you are just starting out in flying, BUY THIS BOOK, as it you will want to refer to it a lot. A must have for any student pilot or teahcer.
