5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent & Comprehensive Guide.,
By Jill E. Bean (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cessna 152 (ASA Reference Books) (Paperback)
Student pilots and others who rely on rental aircraft often have trouble getting their hands on a copy of the correct POH for study and flight planning, since the original has to stay with the plane. This pilot's guide is an excellent and comprehensive resource. In many ways it is more detailed, more specific, and easier to read than the actual POH. Also, since it was written after the 152's have been in service for decades, it contains information about flight and handling characteristics and maintenence issues of high-time 152s that were not known when the POHs were written. With this book, and a copy of your aircraft's unique weight-and balance data, you should be all set for the majority of your preflight planning.
5.0 out of 5 stars
