Welcome to your instructor in an audiobook - a 30 hour audio course!  Written by veteran ground and flight instructor Rod Machado, this audiobook is presented in a warm, conversational manner and spiced with humor. Rod's tried and true methods of instruction, honed through more than 30 years of teaching experience, have achieved exceptional results with thousands of aviation students.

Now you can enjoy Rod's popular Private Pilot Handbook during your daily commute, or at home in the comfort of your own chair. Play these MP3 files to learn or review important concepts during those otherwise wasted hours that many of us spend driving. As one pilot said, "I felt like I had a flight instructor right there in the car with me."

While you can listen to the first eight chapters of the book without referring to the text, you'll still want to use the actual Private Pilot Handbook as a reference for reviewing pictures, graphs and many of the incidental ASRS stories scattered throughout the text.  This exciting new CD is the key to learning faster and better, while maximizing use of your scarce time.

This valuable audio book will help you:

• Fly as a knowledgeable and competent pilot
• Prepare for the Private Pilot FAA knowledge exam
• Prepare for the Private Pilot Oral Exam
• Refresh for required currency training
• Remain an up-to-date confident pilot.

This audio book includes:

• Simplification of aviation's more technical subjects such as aerodynamics, engines, and flight instruments.
• Weather codes: METAR and TAF.
• Alphabet airspace made easy to learn and remember
• Step-by-step procedures for planning a cross country flight
• Easy to apply navigation methods for VOR and GPS
• Down-to-earth explanations of pertinent Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 61 and Part 91
• A simple model for learning the airplane's electrical system.
• A wealth of basic and advanced insights, advice and wisdom gleaned from practical experience.

Wednesday, October 05, 2011 Great way to learn on the go! by Andy from Columbus GA USA  Pros: Learning on the go while driving Cons: None Review: I have been enjoying this audio version of Rod's book.  Great information mixed with some humor makes it fun. You will like it! Was this Review Helpful to you?   Yes   No Tuesday, July 13, 2010 My DVD player has a problem with this product by JL Vaughn from Santa Ana, CA  Review: Great product, but badly marred by the editing. Each section is typically about 2 to 3 min long and most are missing the last second or so. It is quite irritating to be left hanging as the last word or two is chopped off. EDIT: (changed from 3 stars to 5 stars)  I judged this product a bit to harshly in my previous review. It plays fine on my computer, but the last second or so of each section gets clipped on my DVD player. This is extremely annoying. But I can't fault the product unless I can demonstrate my DVD player is working properly. This product is essentially the reading of Machado's book. Retention when reading along while listening is incredible. The book is more thorough than any other I've read, yet a bit less likely to put you to sleep. The audio makes it 3 times better.
