DESCRIPTION:
THE PILOT MANUAL FLIGHT SCHOOL – PDF DOWNLOAD
When it was time to take my private pilot written examination in 1955, my f light instructor handed me a pocket-size booklet. It was published by the Civil Aeronautics Administration (FAA’s predecessor) and contained 200 true/false questions (including answers).
“Study these well,” he cautioned with a wink, “because the test consists of 50 of these.” As I f lipped through the dozen or so pages, my anxiety about the pending examination dissolved into relief. Nothing could be easier, I thought. One question, for example, stated: “True or False: It is dangerous to f ly through a thunderstorm.”
Really. (I passed the test with flying colors—but so did everyone else in those days.) The modern pilot, however, must know a great deal more to hurdle today’s more challenging examinations. This has resulted in a crop of books developed specifically to help pilots pass tests. Unfortunately, some do little else, and the student’s education remains incomplete.
An exciting exception is The Pilot’s Manual s eries. T hese voluminous m anuals provide far in excess of that needed to pass examinations. They are chock-full of practical advice and techniques that are as useful to experienced pilots as they are to students.
The Pilot’s Manuals are a refreshingly creative and clever approach that simplifies and adds spice to what often are regarded as academically dry subjects.
Reading these books is like sitting with an experienced f light instructor who senses when you might be having difficulty with a subject and patiently continues teaching until confident that you understand.
