The Student's Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Private Certificiate, Ninth Edition Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

A classic for beginning aviators, this manual provides step-by-step ground and flight information for student pilots working toward private certification. Kershner's authoritative volume presents a wealth of practical information while encouraging decision making by students. The ninth edition is fully revised and updated and includes an appendix on engines and other systems, the full syllabus for the first time and seven color maps round out this updated, ninth edition.

Used airplanes have greater investment value than most stock options. Their value continues to rise, and with it the value of this bestselling book. Completely new in this revision are: several new planes recently type-certified and entered into production; new ads and STCs; current prices; updated directory information; and a new chapter focusing on investment value - including specific recommendations.

Illustrated Buyer's Guide to Used Airplanes Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked up this book thinking that it would be a price guide. It isn't. To be sure, it has a small section giving a range of prices for various aircraft.
The main part of the book is a guide to the purchase of used airplanes. It's oriented to the smaller types that the individual owner would be likely to find interesting and available.
About a third of the book is on general subjects like do you really want to buy, deciding on the type of airplane, searching for the right plane, inspecting it -- all the things you want to consider regardless of the type of plane that you want. Then there's another large section that covers the various aircraft you're likely to find available and interesting. This is broken down by type. Two passenger, four place, and some interesting categories he calls Complex Airplanes, Heavy Haulers, and Affordable Twins. Within the category he lists the planes by manufacturer and gives some description of the various models and versions produced. I had to read the closing section here on War Birds. He basically said that I can't afford one. He's right. A P-47 uses a gallon of 100 Octane (at about $5 a gallon) every thirty seconds. Finally there is an extensive set of appendicies that cover everything from accidents to the pricing section mentioned earlier.
This is a general guide to buying an airplane which covers a lot of the basics. It'll give you the background information you need to even think about buying.

Van Sickle's Modern Airmanship Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the All-in-one, Swiss-army-knife reference for pilots. The "must-have" book. This completeness and coprehensiveness does not come at the cost of detail or quality of contained info, to the contrary, it is one of the most accurate books in this field. Whether you are an occasional PPL holder who flies every other weekend or you are an airline pilot who fly for a living, this reference would never leave your side. Worth every cent.

Honda Pilot Acura MDX: Honda Pilot - 2003 thru 2007 - Acura MDX - 2001 thru 2007 (Haynes Repair Manual) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own a 2006 Pilot EXL and have used this manual for a few easy maintenance jobs. I have purchased many repair manuals over the years, and as typical, Haynes does an Okay job of conveying most of the basic details. If you just want to do simple repair work, i.e. brake pad replacement, air filter, etc., then this manual should work fine. However, if you are looking for a more detailed book for major repair jobs (you know who you are,) then this may still be of value, but I suggest you find another reference to use as well. A factory repair manual might be best, or Bentley Publishing does a much better job at presenting the details (and more details) to the untrained, (especially the small ones that you would otherwise never know about.) Unfortunately, Bentley does not make a manual for the Pilot. So the biggest factor here is cost. Haynes price is cheap, and Factory Manuals cost anywhere from $60 to $120 depending on the year. So, you have to decide, how much information do you need? Assuming you can do the job yourself, the money paid on any (or all) of these books will almost have an immediate payback period.
