5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Preparation For Private Pilots and Students, June 4, 2004

By	Robert I. Hedges - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I am a professional airline pilot, and log virtually all of my time in large, turbojet aircraft. I am also a current CFI, although I don't frequently exercise my Instructor privileges in single engine aircraft. Not long ago I was approached to assist in teaching a Private Pilot ground school and to do some tutoring on the side. I accepted more for the challenge than any other reason.

The selected text for the course was the "Private Pilot Manual" by Jeppesen Sanderson, and I must say that I was very impressed with the book. It is very complete and provides easy to comprehend explanations (normally with useful diagrams, charts, or photographs) that make learning relatively painless. It was an excellent refresher for me as well, as single engine VFR flying is not what I do on a daily basis anymore. I highly recommend this book to CFI's for their students, to any Private Pilot or Private Pilot candidate, or to any advanced pilot as a refresher of the basics.

The only complaints I have heard from students are in regard to the relatively high price of the book. My response is that this one book contains the best explanations of the most important concepts needed to pass your written, oral, and practical exams before becoming a Private Pilot, and is an excellent reference to be referred to in the days to come. Flying isn't cheap. Economy is a good thing, but you need to know when to skimp and when to spend. This book is an excellent investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Classroom Textbook, November 20, 1999

By	Neil Harrison (nharrison@mediaone.net) (Sherborn, Masschusetts) - See all my reviews

This book is THE best textbook that any future Private Pilot can find. I have read many others and I find this one to be the best.

I'm a student pilot myself and this book as helped me enormously. The pictures are clearly drawn and emphasize the text. The book is filled with pictures and if you're a picture person (like me) you'll find this book easy to read.

Again, I highly recommend this book to any aspering pilot. We use this textbook here at Purdue University.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the industry's leading text for private pilots, January 13, 2001

By	Luke Pinkney (Houston, DE USA) - See all my reviews

This is such a significant upgrade from Jeppesen's previous edition. Clear, concise, and graphically superior to any other book on the market (and I have most of them). I am a commercial pilot working on my CFI and have found it even more useful the second time reading it. If you want to pass your checkride get a reliable, knowledgeable instructor and get one of these books.
