5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for the aircraft owner, February 22, 2008
As a new aircraft owner, I am trying to learn as much as I can about my aircraft. This book is well-written and easy to understand. Although not everything in it relates directly to my plane, all the information is valuable in understanding aircraft systems.

This book has taught me many things that were never covered in my training, and reinforced those that were.

I highly recommend this book to both aircraft owners and renters. Knowledge is power and will help keep you safe.
