The Complete Private Pilot is for anyone interested in pursuing and
obtaining a Private Pilot, Sport Pilot or Recreational Pilot
certificate. The author, a long-admired member of the aviation
community, explains in a friendly, readable style and comprehensively
covers all the details involved in the adventure of becoming a pilot and
learning to fly.
An FAA Knowledge Exam is required to earn a Private Pilot certificate.
Using the FAA exam as the premise for learning, Bob Gardner applies
practical information so readers are not only prepared for the test, but
also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by
giving specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices,
and sound advice from personal experience. A full-color example of a
sectional chart is provided inside for use with the many interactive
exercises throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with review
questions similar to the type found on the FAA test. A comprehensive
glossary and index are included. This practical application of the FAA
Knowledge Exam is not available in any other book!
The Complete Private Pilot works as a companion textbook to ASA's
Private Pilot Virtual Test Prep DVD Ground School. An integrated
Flight/Ground Syllabus for both Part 141 and 61 programs is also
available to accompany the textbook. Foreword by Richard Taylor.
