Very good to have but could be better by A Customer from FL USA
Pros: good start to doing homework, color, some good ads Cons: too much on non bahamas for me, inconsistency in data Review: If going to Bahamas this is nice to have. Seems to be a bit inconsitent on data provided for each airport and location and hard to make any hotel decisions from what is presented. This book really helps you find what you want to search on the web.

by Frank from Watchung, NJ USA
Review: I've purchased the guide in the past and I thought the old format was better. The past editions had better views of the airports as seen from the cockpit as the islands are approached, which had them easier to set up for a pattern. Maybe with almost universal GPS they feel that it is no longer needed.

Good information by PropPilot from Hoover AL USA
Review: Would like to have had approach charts to the airports where instrument approaches are applicable but otherwise a very good source of information and details on the islands and getting around. Highly recommend.

You need this guide when flying in the Caribbean by Brian Lloyd from Cameron Park, CA, USA
Pros: Provides necessary entry, fuel, weather, and lodging phone numbers Cons: Occasionally info about available fuel is wrong -- call ahead. Review: I moved down to St. Thomas for three years to set up a new business. I ended up flying all over the Caribbean in my Comanche and Aztec. I have purchased a new copy every year for 6 years. This book is the bible. The only other thing you need is the DOD Caribbean and South America Enroute Low Altitude chart L-5/L-6. One reviewer panned it for not having enough information. I have never found I needed more info about each island I went to. So if you are going to the Caribbean, you need this book. Period.

A must for dream pilots by Stan from Warsaw, Poland
Pros: well balanced information, useful in trip planning Cons: ageing photos Review: Each time I visit the region I buy the B&CPG. The 2008 edition was in my pilot bag for the trip. It doesn't replace the Jeppesen's trip tool, but complete it in a very useful way. I wish that the authors have another opportunity to re-visit the islands to replace the pictures with new ones of better quality. Maybe a professional photographer wouldn't be a bad idea. Otherwise, the info is quite up to date, but not always as it is the case of FWI.

Not worth the money by A Customer from Elizabethton, TN
Pros: Covers most of the islands. Cons: Not as thorough as expected. Review: [This review refers to the 2007 edition.] Most if not all information in this book can be found online. I was under the impression that it came with all the carribean approach charts but it only has a few of them. It would be better to search online and buy a Jeppesen Caribbean Trip Kit. Which is what I do from now on.

by James Roswell from cat island
Review: [This review refers to the 2007 edition.] I've navigated in boats and planes for 40 yrs in the Bahamas and this book has all the information you will ever need and is layed out in an easy manner. You shouldn't be without one down here.
