Airplane Ownership

Rating:
Summary: Focused on doing it 'on the cheap'
Review: This book assumes that the buyer is most concerned about the cost of ownership and how to do it 'on the cheap'. If this is not your situation, then this book may not be that useful to you. The case studies where interesting.

Summary: Good first step if you're considering owning a plane.
Review: This book helps narrow down the field as you consider buying or owning an airplane. Gives details about cost and offers real world examples of operating expenses (aircraft specification tables were particulary helpful). Covers what to look for, pre-purchase inspections, and paperwork needed to buy and register aircraft. Well worth the money if you're considering buying your first airplane.

Summary: I keep coming back to this book, It's worth every penny!
Review: This book is an informative, easy to read, engaging look at buying and owning an aircraft. It walks you right through the different types available, and explains many of the advantages and pitfalls of the different types (antique, classic, homebuilt, modern, etc) of aircraft available. It goes on to explain what you can and can't do in owner maintanance. This book shows how to do what you can do, with photos and illustrations to back up the text in many instances. Overall, of all the airplane ownership books I've got, this is the one that I keep coming back to, it's well done, interesting, and informative!
