In clear, concise language, this flying reference coaches student pilots through all the private and commercial flight manoeuvres. Useful before and after lessons, students can better prepare for flight and review and consolidate what they have learned. Covered are all the tasks from the Federal Aviation Administration's Practical Test Standards for the Private and Commercial certificates, including climbs and descents, turns and spins, emergency operations, and various takeoffs and landings. Review questions round out each section.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Best pilot training manual availlable,
By Lycurgus "Greg" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pilot's Manual: Flight School: How to Fly Your Airplane Through All the FAR/JAR Maneuvers (Pilot's Manual series, The) (Paperback)
To me, this manual is the best available (I have not seen King's or Sporty's versions). It gets the job done, and that's all you need.

Excellent book for flight students (and oldies),

This review is from: The Pilot's Manual: Flight School: How to Fly Your Airplane Through All the FAR/JAR Maneuvers (Pilot's Manual series, The) (Paperback)
Excellent book for student pilots and their instructors, or for experienced pilots who do not fly for a living - it is good to review the basics from time to time.
