not for raw beginners,
By
This review is from: Proficient Pilot, Volume 2 (Paperback)
Schiff's wisdom and clarity are tough to appreciate when you don't know anything about flying. Save this one until after you've soloed at the very least. Then reread it once per year. And don't forget Volume 2 when you can learn how to fly the North Atlantic and also how to ditch if your flight to Europe doesn't go as planned...

New insight,
By mf "fai_ghost" (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Proficient Pilot, Volume 1 (Paperback)
Even you are familiar with the principle of flying, the book can provide new insight in every flying aspect. It uses different point of view to elucidate the basic theory. I am sure you can get more understanding about what you have learnt in flying.

Do you REALLY know what lift is?,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Proficient Pilot (Hardcover)
Being a helicopter and fixed wing instructor pilot for 7 years, I thought I knew how lift worked. NOT. Read what they did not teach you in flight school in this great book by Mr. Schiff.

Top five,
By Charilaos N. Ginos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Proficient Pilot (Hardcover)
As a physicist and private pilot, having read a few dozens of books on aviation, I find this book (in fact the two volumes I and II) the best aviation reading I have ever come across. Strongly recommended even if you think you have read it all.
