Book Reviews of Private Pilot Manual
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an excellent book. Both the material and presentation was very professional and would be great for both a classroom or independent study for the written exam.
The only drawback and it was minor was that the coverage of the required FAR's was minimal, but since everyone buying this book should have a copy of the latest FAR/AIM, this should not be too bad.
Book Review: Excellent Preparation For Private Pilots and Students
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: the best PPL textbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my hands on many textbooks on different subjects, but this is one of the best I've ever seen. The full color photos and illustrations are very well done and relevant. The PPL training content is thorough, but they also include little one page articles covering tidbits of aviation trivia and history that are entertaining.It's the kind of book that you pick up to read a specific topic, but continue to read about other things that caught your eye along the way.
I think it's worth the price. You can probably resell it later, but if you pass the PPL checkride, you'll want to keep it as a reference.
Book Review: must have for the PPL student
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent textbook to have accompany you through studies for the private pilot certificate.Everything is well explained and backed up with very good pictures and diagrams.
It isn't cheap, but then again neither is flying. However I can guarantee that if you purchase this then you'll understand that you made a good decision soon after opening it.
Book Review: Outstanding Text!
Summary: 5 Stars
As I flight instructor, I have recommended this text to all of my students. Jeppesen provides superior training products for all levels of flight training. If I were allowed only one reference to use for teaching, this would be it!
