Review: Best overall textbook for private + commercial flight maneuver training - I am a Certificate Flight Instructor with an Instrument Instructor rating (CFII). I obtained copies of every pilot training textbook published, and reviewed each for accuracy, relevance, and teaching methods. ASA's Pilot's Manual series was clearly the overall best. Some others have good aspects, but some other textbooks have outright incorrect information in them. This book is part of a pair with the "Ground School" volume. This book mainly covers the aircraft maneuvers—what is referred to as the "stick and rudder flying" part of your training. The other volume covers the "headwork" part (performance, weather, planning, etc). When you get this book, you may be somewhat overwhelmed by its size. Don't be. This book covers both the private and commercial certificates, has lots of full-page illustrations and white space, and is printed on good-quality, heavy paper. The book is organized simply: each flight maneuver/task is a chapter. Review the maneuvers planned for each flight lesson before flying. Along with this book and the "Ground School" volume, buy a personal copy of the aircraft's Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH)—often, they are sold as "Pilot's Information Manuals" by the aircraft manufacturer and pilot shops.
Review: Leading me to my career! - Got this book just to see if the aviation industry interested me at all as a career path I’d want to follow, turns out flying planes is like learning stick again in an old VW beetle or bus. Even if just to read for fun this book teaches you everything from the basic physics of flight, to caring for your plane, techniques, and other things to really get you started. I joined an “accelerated pathway program” and the last two weeks for me has all been review simply from having read this book with a little looking over here and there. I decided on the hardback version and trust me it’s definitely worth it, like $50 more (at the time) worth it. Even now that I’m flying it’s still a great piece to look at and read a chapter of just like my Stephen king books, if you’re new to the area or not I would highly highly recommend this series of aviation books!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good knowledge and resource
*by M***K on January 13, 2020*

Get the series, they are expensive but so worth it. Whether you’re a student or instructor. If aviation is a career and your livelihood, the books you can keep for a lifetime. They are great resources and you will always have them to reference back to.
