Product Description
The information is organized into easy-to-digest chapters, and the text is supported with more than 500 full-color illustrations and photographs. All the knowledge requirements are covered, including aerodynamics, the airplane, performance factors, physiological factors affecting the pilot, weather, regulations, charts and airspace, airport operations, navigation, and flight planning, including specific instructions on how to use the flight computer. Helpful marginal notes are provided for quick definitions of terms, further emphasis on key points, and mnemonic devices that can be of tremendous benefit to study. Each chapter closes with review questions highlighting the important facts. Ninety percent of the text is for the Private, and the additional ten percent, well-separated, will raise you to the Commercial standard.

Since I became a ground instructor in 2004, I used the William Kershner series (The Student Pilot's Flight Manual and The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual) as the basic references for my ground school classes and individual tutorials. Getting my hands on volume 2 of the Pilots Manual series was an eye opener. The text is lavishly illustrated with useful color figures (in stark contrast the the Jeppesen GFD series) that mesh well and usefully with the text. Besides the good use of figures and diagrams, there are reasonably comprehensive end-of-chapter quizzes and other tools for the instructor and student. This text is well written, with a much more appealing layout than the Kershner series. The over all affect of the text gives the material a more appealing, approachable sense. Both technically an aesthetically well done. I highly recommend this as a primary teaching text.

This book does a good job of detailing all the technical details of why an airplane has to work the way it does. It tells the reader about the environment that the aircraft operates in, and explains how interactions with that environment affect the flying characteristics of the machine.
