Book Description

March 2000 0917539850 978-0917539855 3rd
Private Pilot Flight Maneuvers and Practical Test Prep is designed to SIMPLIFY and FACILITATE your flight training in a single-engine land airplane (such as a Cessna 152 or Piper Warrior). This book teaches you how to do each flight maneuver or other subject area (such as preflight preparation) prior to your flight lesson. Thus, you will be thoroughly prepared to spend more quality time in the airplane. Additionally, this book serves as an excellent review prior to your FAA practical (flight) test. We carefully designed Private Pilot Flight Maneuvers and Practical Test Prep to make it easy for you to learn and understand. For example We outline and illustrate each flight maneuver you will perform during your flight training. You will know what to expect and what to do before your instructor demonstrates the maneuver. You will learn faster because you understand what to do. We have included discussion of common errors made during each flight maneuver. This will help you learn from others' mistakes. Each FAA practical test task is explained in terms of what your FAA-designated examiner may expect you to interpret or demonstrate. You will be thoroughly prepared to complete your practical test confidently and successfully. Finally, we help you focus on gaining practical test standard proficiency as quickly as possible to prep you for your FAA practical (flight) test.

Additionally, this book contains our flight training syllabus and the FAA Private Pilot Practical Test Standards (single-engine land airplane) reprinted verbatim.

Review

"Gleim took me all the way to the right seat of a B-757 at US Airways where I am today!" -- Stephen Korner, January 25, 2000

From the Author

"The bottom line is, be a success in whatever you choose to do with your life. People learn and grow as individuals and therefore need to find their own personalized system to achieve success. For me, making a career of the things I enjoy most was the only way to go. Lastly, remember that there is no substitute for studying diligently and effectively. Our ability to address the need for systematic, no-nonsense exam prep and study materials that get the job done right has contributed to the success of literally millions of accountants and pilots. It's fun to succeed and help others succeed."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Student Pilots Friend, April 5, 2000
By 
Richard Reid (Hampton, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Private Pilot Flight Maneuvers and Practical Test Prep (Paperback)
Gleim's newest edition of Private Pilot Flight Maneuvers and Practical Test Prep is a great aid to the student pilot. It includes diagrams and pictures explaining the maneuvers that a pilot must be tested on in order to take their solo flight. The best feature of this book is the section explaining common student pilot errors, so that you know what not to do in the cockpit. It is seperated in sections that are based on the test standards that the instructors follow. This allows you to go over certain areas that you have difficultly with. A very good buy if you have not taken your solo flight yet. If you have taken the flight already, the book is not much more then an update on older versions, it simply has some updated material on the rules and test standards, and is not worth it if you have a previous version that is not more then a year old. But for the rookie pilot, or an "old salt" wanting to read up on current changes, this book is a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not good, November 18, 2002
By A Customer
This isn't a bad book - it is filled with all of the important info but Gleim's presentation of the info is pretty bad. There are no color diagrams to help expain the instrument panel, runway lights, etc., none at all! The addition of these would greatly improve upon this book. Also, it doesn't seem that Gleim does much to help the reader understand difficult info - explanations aren't clear and frequently hard to follow. I am a teacher and have multiple graduate degrees so it's not that I can't understand the material, it's just that Gleim doesn't seem to go the extra mile.

BUT, it does have all of the necessary info, and only the necessary info required to pass the written. I suppose that's a check on the positive side.
