When I received this truly pocket sized booklet I was surprised at the cost of such a small edition. In it's credit, it does contain alot of memory aids, flight calculation tables, checklists, pertinent FAA regs, abbreviations, weather minimums etc. for VFR and IFR pilots. I give credit to the author and publisher for compacting so much into a small space. Myself personnaly, would probably use it for quick reviews and memory aids while not in motion or as a general refresher out of the cockpit.

Great quick little reference that can go where you go. True, most of the information should be well known to a current pilot. However, having aviation equations, often used acronyms, and some regs quick at hand is very useful. Great gift for a student pilot or professional. Buy the rules of thumb too.

This book does have a lot of info for its size. In my opinion it just has your typical memory items that you should already know from your pilot training. Items such as alcohol consumption and required VFR equipment should not have to be looked up by a current pilot. Overall the book has a ton of info in it but not really anything you should need while flying and if you were studying at home there are much better books for studying.

As a pilot, I felt that this was a little too basic for real use. I looked through it once and never used it again. Most of the information a regular pilot should know off the top of his head and the other information is really not that useful. There are better application via the iPhone that cost less.

Great book. Very handy, indeed. It's very well organized and a great price. It just might save your life one day.

This is a nice pocket reference book to keep in my flight bag. The size is just right and it contains details on some of the things I should remember but may not

Great for those of us who don't fly everyday to make sure you don't forget anything, a must have in any pilots bag.

This handbook is invaluable to any pilot and a must for taking each time one flies. What more can I say? Just don't leave the ground without it.

It has lots of info, only applicable if you fly. It helps refresh VFR and IFR stuff. Great tool for Instructor pilots.

One for this book ... the other for its companion book, Pilot's Rules of Thumb. Excellant resource. It is truly pocket size ... which, in my opinion, is a necessity for this type of handy reference. Absolutely chock full of clear and consise instructions and formulas. Considering the price vs the content ... a truly "must-have" item for students and flight/aviation enthusiasts.
