"An outstanding resource for anyone interested in getting a pilot's license." --Private Pilot
THE CLASSIC BOOK THAT HAS HELPED AVIATORS TAKE OFF FOR MORE THAN A QUARTER CENTURY!
If learning to fly an airplane is part of your plans, here's the one book you need to read -- before you suit up for a single flight class.
Written in an easy-to-understand style by a noted aviation expert, Your Pilot's License offers practical advice that helps would-be aviators understand the demands and pleasures of earning a pilot's license. The book provides you with a firm grasp of:
* How much it costs
* How long it takes
* Different types of ratings and certifications
* Options for flight
* Rules, regulations, and requirements
* Medical minimums
* Instructors and flight schools
* Navigation and communications
* Examinations
* And much, much more!
When it comes to earning your wings, Your Pilot's License is the resource you need to help your dreams take flight!
The book is a must-read for anyone thinking about taking up flying or who has just started taking lessons. Not only does is summarize what to expect, it also provides a wealth of knowledge that should help make your lessons more effective. Eichenberger explains complicated concepts in simple English. Particularly helpful to the beginning pilot will be his explanations of how lift works and how to "fly the box" taking wind into account.
For those who have been flying for a period of time, the book offers very little (other than perhaps nostalgia about those first flights). If you don't already know what is covered in this book (and in some areas, significantly more than is covered) you really shouldn't be flying a plane.
For those looking to get their flight instructor certificate, this book holds particular value as it will help you learn how to teach your students! It is also very helpful in remaining us how if felt "from the other side."
If you are thinking of getting your pilot's license, I suggest that you read this book. I am now finishing up my Private Pilot training, and the book was very accurate about the training involved. Very informational and highly recommended!!
