Customer Reviews

Very good, but . . .
Substantially better than the Trevor Thom books, which I found to be dull and impenetrable. Plenty of illustrations and clean, spacious layout makes the book easy to follow, with helpful revision questions at the end of each section.

Why not 5 stars? Although in its third edition, there are still irritating typographical errors which should have been ironed out long ago, together with the (very) occasional bizarre sentence which seems to have abandoned the English language entirely.

Those issues apart, this series is the best I have come across for Private Pilot training.

High quality book
I like this book very much. Although there is a lot of material in it, structure is consistent and clear. At the end of each chapter there is a number of questions for self-control. Text is detailed and is written in solid, precise manner which makes this book a potentially good long-term source for reference.

This book is about technics, and to go through and understand bits of it will require quite some attention and concentration even if you are an engineer or technical person, so be prepared.

The only thing I disliked about this book (and the whole series) is very small font size.

not that impressed
i bought all the Pratt books with out looking at the Trevor Thom books. The Pratt books do explain it all in detail and with nice pics but at the end of the day you are doing the exam to pass. The Thom books cut out all the waffle and cut to the chase .
