4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Flying & Pilot's License Sep 1 2003
Format:Paperback
Your Pilot's License provides a simple, concise guide to getting your license to fly. Eichenberger describes both how to actually fly a plane as well as the process by which one learns how and is licensed to do so. Eichenberger's experience as a flight instructor (CFI) clearly shows, as much of the book reads like a flight lesson.

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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Getting Started Dec 12 2002
By John A
Format:Paperback
I have always wanted to get my pilot's license, and I came across this book and decided to read it. This book explains all about what steps you need to go through and what to expect when starting flight training to get your private pilot's license. I had no idea that so much was involved before I read this!

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!!
