4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Guide...add a few more pages and it would be perfect, February 9, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Diamond Katana DA20: A Pilot's Guide (ASA Reference Books) (Paperback)
This guide has all of the critical stuff you need as a renter of this type of aircraft. You have to be careful to make sure you are looking at the right charts though, be it for the A1 model or the C1. The only gripe I have is that there are like 5 key pages from the Operating Manual in the plane that they should've put in this book. For those that want to go photocopy those pages out of the POH to make this book complete (this only applies to the A1 model): they are 5-4 (Cruising Performance), 5-5 (Stall Speeds), 5-12 (Climb Performance during Balked Landing), 6-4 (Weighing Report), 6-8 (Weight & Balance Diagram). There are a few other minor things that could be done for the next revision, but all in all, a great book, especially for this price.
