"Since I first began taking flying lessons, I have used William Kershner's wonderful "Flight Manuals" - from his "Student Pilot's Flight Manual" to his "Flight Instructor's Manual." I love the way Mr. Kershner makes fun and interesting reading of sometimes dry subjects. His books are easy and fun to read and filled with all of the best information! I continue to recommend his books to anyone learning to fly, and have bought quite of few of them over the years to give to aspiring pilots. I cannot think of any other books on aviation that I would recommend more highly than William Kershner's "Flight Manuals"." - Patty Wagstaff, 2004 Inductee, National Aviation Hall of Fame. The new and updated fourth edition of "The Flight Instructor's Manual" is an invaluable reference for those working on the flight instructor's certificate and serves as an indispensable guide for the new instructor. Both experienced and newly certified flight instructors can turn to this excellent resource for information about the problems students and more advanced pilots will encounter. The book is organized so that each chapter can be used as a stand-alone reference for a particular phase of instruction. The information parallels the material presented in "The Student Pilot's Flight Manual", "The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual", "The Basic Aerobatic Manual", and "The Instrument Flight Manual", allowing "The Flight Instructor's Manual" to serve as "how to instruct" guide rather than a detailed text on the basics.

This review is from: The Flight Instructor's Manual (Paperback)

With the words and pictures expressing his technical knowledge and humor, Bill Kershner made the perfect book for teaching you how to teach others how to fly. From first flight to solo to cross country to advanced checkouts it is all here. This is real world information you will refer to before going to the airport to teach. It's not really a guide to get you to pass the FAA checkride, it's a guide for teaching actual students. Covers the technical and personal side of flight and instructing.
