Customer Reviews

A brilliant, lucid guide to the flying training part of the PPL
Jeremy Pratt's first book in the PPL Course series covers the exercises 1-19 in clear and interesting detail. Each exercise consists of first a "background briefing", in which most of the detail is covered, then generally an "airmanship" page or two for each exercise, and then a page of progressive graphic (plus explanatory text!) instructions of what is physically done during the exercise. To make the most of your flying lessons, it is possible to go over these exercises beforehand with a flight simulator - it's nice to go in with a clue about what you are going to do!

Easy to understand
Mr Pratt has managed to make a rather dry subject into an enjoyable read. The book is littered with examples including text and pictures from comlete flights to show the theory.

I have his other books in the series and they are all of the same quality.
