Buying and Owning Your Own Airplane, Third Edition Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've looked at all the books I can find to learn about high performance singles that can carry 4 people plus lots of stuff for adventure flying.This book shows performance specifications, and summarizes the other considerations of each model, including durability, flying & landing characteristics, and maintenence issues. I liked that it covered all the major Cessnas, Pipers (including the 6 & Saratoga) and also some Grummans, Beechcrafts, Mooney's, Maules, a taildragger section & more (over 50 models in all).
Also good summary of Partnership issues, Home field selection, defining the airplane's mission, Insurance & Maintenence.
If you're looking for your first airplane to own, I'd recommend this book!

The Student Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Pilot Certificate (The Flight Manuals Series) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This Kershner Manual has long been considered one of the best study guides for private pilot training. It is packed with useful information, presented in an easy to understand fashion. I would recommend this book to anyone beginning their flight training, or to any pilot who is looking for a skill "refresher".
Kershner puts alot of emphasis on the physics involved in all of the maneuvers and flight characteristics discussed in this manual. His style of writing, while filled with technical information, is still quite fun to read. The only thing I would gripe about, and it is quite minor, is that some of the illustrations in the book are a bit outdated.

Airplane Maintenance & Repair: A Manual for Owners, Builders, Technicians, and Pilots Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This appears to be a contract book where the publisher comes up with a title that will sell and then contracts someone to write the book. It is disorganized, and the different chapters vary greatly in quality. An entire chapter consist almost completely of text lifted out of FAA FARs and advisory circulars with no interpretation or commentary between listings. Some chapters are dedicated to discussing engine operation and electronics, but cover it in a more cursory manor than most private pilot study books. The chapter on electrical systems states several times that electrical systems travel at the speed of light in a wire when they travel closer to 2/3 of this speed. This is a nit, but goes to show how little effort was put into constructing this book. I found the book overall almost completely useless.
