Summary: Outstanding! If you are a student pilot, this is a must buy
Review: Excellent, practical information for a student aviator (or anyone with even a passing interest in the topic). I particularly like Mr. Kershner's sections called probable errors. For each flight maneuver (such as a crosswind landing), the text describes likely errors, their cause and the way to correct the error.

Summary: excellent easy to follow guide.
Review: I actually read, and used extensively, the 7th edition of this book. Mr. Kershner has a easy to read and follow style that has helped me tremendously on my way to getting certified as a private pilot. Whenever I was having diffuculty learning a particular aspect of flying I referred first to this book and got the straight and skinny on the subject. Mr. Kershner obviously has a grasp on what a student pilot goes through to understand the technical jargon and concepts of flight principals, navigation, cross country flying, flight instuments, and landing an airplane.The illstrations are clear and concise. The photographs are very good. I highly recommend this book to any student pilot as a supplement to ground school, or anyone interested in what it takes to learn to fly, or anyone who flys in a light plane as a passenger and wants to learn more about what's going on in the cockpit and the pilot's mind.

Summary: Better for After Knowledge Test Referance
Review: I purchased his book (an earlier version) on recommendation of my flight instructor when first starting out. If your looking strictly for study material to score high on the written test there is more information than you need. If your looking for a good referance book after the written test then purchase Rod Machado's pilot manual. I use Rod's book now after earning my private license. Whenever I pick it up it either refreshes my knowledge or I am able to learn something new with further depth. Rod's book is well complimented with illustrations and diagrams to help understand the subject matter. If you want a book to use strictly for the knowlege test they are both overkill.

Summary: As a flight instructor, this book is one of the best out
Review: I recommend this book to all my primary student
Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: Informative, articulate, and carefully edited -- a must have reference for aspiring pilots. Especially impressive is Kershner's ability to avoid the most common pitfalls of writing technical material: the text is tight, complete, succinct, and perhaps most surprisingly, a real treat to read.

Summary: Excellent full-coverage text for the student or rusty pilot
Review: This book covers all the stuff you need to know for the private or recreational certificates, and makes a pretty darn good review of fundamentals for anyone needing a BFR. I had been out of the cockpit a number of years, and this book made the trip back easier, faster and more enjoyable than I had thought possible. Only downfall is lack of specifics on the FARs, but this is likely to prevent obsolescence. Overall, a good value for the money.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS OUTSTANDING COMPARED TO OTHERS!!!
Review: THIS OUTSTANDING BOOK IS VERY INTERESTING. AS ALWAYS, BOOKS ABOUT GETTING YOUR LICENSE ARE BORING. THIS BOOK HAS IT'S BORING SPOTS AND KERSHNER MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING BY USING HUMOR. KERSHNER IS A WONDERFUL MAN AND KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO AIRPLANES. BUY THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!!!
Rating:
Summary: Great Tool
Review: This was a great tool for my flight instruction. Kershner has a way of explaining things that is better than the other books I was able to find. I read this on my own instead of ground school and past my written and practical - so, it worked!
