Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great details, except for ... Comment: I am currently hard at work on my Private Pilot Certificate and immersed in ground school. I purchased this Machado book (and his IFR book) and agree with everyone else that it is an excellent reference, very detailed and well organized. But I also found, like many of the other reviewers, that the "humor" was a little overboard. Rod's writing style and the illustrations I found to be a little irritating. I am sure others feel the level of humor and the cartoons are just perfect, but I thought it is a little over-done. Customer Rating: Summary: Never Too Old To Learn Comment: At 60-plus years young, I still find learning new things or new ways to understand those that I've already learned to be fun and exciting. I am currently reading a great knowledge builder of a book. Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook is exactly the Ultimate guidebook to the world of aviation as seen through the eyes of the Private Pilot. I got my ticket to fly general aviation aircraft (Visual Flight Rules, only) back in 1984. I've always had a yearning for more information, believing that it could only be a help to me as I progress as an older pilot. The book is filled with handy notes, lots of pictures showing everything you ever wanted to know and more. Even though I haven't quite finished reading the book cover-to-cover, I still find myself jumping around throughout this Pilot's Bible of excellent knowledge of aspects that every pilot should know. Many years ago when I first started training to be a general aviation pilot, I attended a Ground School course that brought me up to speed so-to-speak, which made the transition into the cockpit easier. This book keeps that transition up-to-date. Before most every flight I will browse through this book just as a reminder that I'm never too old to forget something and never too old to remind myself of all that there is to this thing called flying. I recommend this book as a reference manual to your flight bag! Customer Rating: Summary: Good book Comment: This product is same as described in purchase. Delivery was very quickly and good conditions. I recommend this product and provider. Sincerely. Jose Pena Customer Rating: Summary: Great gift!
