Student Pilot's Flight Manual
by William Kershner
From your first flight to your Private certificate, William Kershner, a well known name in aviation and long time aviation writer gives you everything you need to know to pass your private pilot written, oral, and practical flight test.
The Student Pilots Flight Manual focuses on practical flying skills, explaining each in detail and clarity, yet still interjects sufficient airman knowledge to be prepared for the written and practical tests. It is written in a concise yet personal manner and illustrated with simple yet effective presentations. This book, in combination with the FAR/AIM (Federal Aviation Regulation / Airman's Information Manual) would be a good combination.
For the instructor, a detailed ground and flight syllabus is included in the back 98 pages.
