5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Text for Private Pilots, February 28, 2009

By	hdtravel (USA) - See all my reviews

I used an earlier version of this book during my training for my Private Pilot License several years ago.

It is just a must have classic training guide for new and experienced pilots.

Nice format, easy to use & read. Affordably priced.

This is the 2004 version, hopefully an updated edition is coming out soon.

I am a flight instructor and used this book to teach. This book explains, in detail, all of the maneuvers and procedures necessary to pass your private and commercial pilot practical tests. It is a must have for all pilots of all skill levels, weather you want to study for your test, or just brush-up on your skills.
