This review is from: Student Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Private Certificate (The Flight Manuals Series) (Paperback)

This wonderful flight manual is a rewrite of the original by William K Kershner by his son, William C Kershner. It explains terms, procedures and other aviation concepts more simply and understandaably than most I have read- And I have bought them ALL. This is the text I will use with my students. There are even lesson plans included for the flight instructor. Right now no "program" incorporates this book, so I call it the "sleeper" of the flght world. BUY IT!!!
