5.0 out of 5 stars All you really need for your written, December 30, 2004

This review is from: Private Pilot Test Prep 2005: Study and Prepare for the Recreational and Private Airplane, Helicopter, Gyroplane, Glider, Balloon, and Airship FAA Knowledge Exams (Test Prep series) (Paperback)

I used the 2004 edition of this guide as my primary text to prepare for the written exam. As a test prep, it does a perfectly adequate job of preparing the student to pass the written exam. It is of course not a substitute for studying other material in order to become a safe and competent pilot, but that is not the purpose of this book.

This book (and repeated use of internet-based practice tests) enabled me to score a satisfying 100% on my written. You can't get a better recommendation than that.

Excellent study guide in all aspects of flying as a private pilot and with proper study. should help considerably in passing the FAA Private Pilot Written Examination.

For someone like myself, holding a private pilot certificate but not current it was of great value in understanding current communications, map reading and vatious airspace Classes.

This review is from: Private Pilot Test Prep 2005: Study and Prepare for the Recreational and Private Airplane, Helicopter, Gyroplane, Glider, Balloon, and Airship FAA Knowledge Exams (Test Prep series) (Paperback)

This text was adequate, if not somewhat antiquated. Even my instructor seemed a little annoyed with it. For my next rating, I'll look for a more in-depth test prep with more graphics and more updated material.
