Best price I found for this item.
- By DaveM from Bakersfield CA USA on Tuesday, May 17, 2016
- Pros: Best price found, Jeppesen has a long history in aviation training material.
- Cons: none noted.
- Review: I purchased the Jeppesen GFD Private pilot Kit because this one was being used by my CFI. MYPILOTSTORE had the best price I could find at the time. The option to purchase WITHOUT the bag, saved me that much more $$$$.

Great learning tools
- Verified Purchase
- By Rick from Thousand Oaks CA USA on Monday, October 31, 2011
- Pros: Just the right amount of material
- Cons: Haven't found any yet
- Review: The course mirrors my flight instruction perfectly. Everything I learn in the air is covered in the material. Although the size of the text book seems a little daunting, it is very easy to read and comprehend. The sample tests at the end of every section are the perfect for review and reinforcement.

All you need/want to know, masterfully presented - great product!
- By David from Morganton NC USA on Tuesday, July 19, 2011
- Pros: Overall quality of the product
- Cons: The FARS - there needs to be a Jeppesen-authored abridged version!
- Review: Conveys fairly detailed info clearly and uses illustrations/graphics and sidebars to make it more comprehensible and interesting. Lively and exciting - not dry and tedious like a lot of textbooks . I find myself wanting to read more, like a best-selling page turner. The organization, writing, and visuals are first-rate. Haven't come up with any criticisms so far!

Great Text for Student Pilots
- By Terry from Sunnyvale CA USA on Saturday, September 28, 2013
- Pros: complete, informative, easily navigated
- Cons: expensive and heavy
- Review: I'm a CFI teaching a couple of "older" guys how to fly. The manual is well written, concise and easily understandable for professionals who don't alway give you their complete attention.

Great books for beginning pilots
- Verified Purchase
- By Mark from Highland, IN on Thursday, January 21, 2010
- Review: The Jeppesen Part 61 kit is GREAT! Definately worth the extra money! The fundamentals and information are presented in a way that one builds on top of another. In other words you won't get lost! Pictures, Graphs, FAA Knowledge Test questions are highlighted, and Real World Aviation History that relates to what you are reading about, in that chapter. The pictures and graphs really help you visualize the text you are reading. Each chapter has a quiz at the end which I thought was a good learning tool as well. I was very pleased with my purchase and Mypilotstore.com's low price made it even better.

- By A Customer from Los Angeles CA on Tuesday, August 17, 2004
- Review: A great value from MyPilotStore.com. This Part 61 Kit from Jeppesen is a whole lot more. The Jeppesen GFD (Guided Flight Discovery) Private Pilot Kit is a complete system for learning everything you need to get your Private Pilot Certificate. The text and study materials are thoroughly and thoughtfully presented with full color photos and graphics. You will need to add very little to this kit as it includes: a log book, an E6B flight computer, an PN-1 navigation plotter and more. Get your medical/student certificate, add your favorite CFI and flight training and you will reach your goal of Private Pilot.

Very concise and informative, easy to follow and understand
- By Judy from Gainesville GA USA on Wednesday, January 09, 2008
- Pros: Very well put together
- Cons: none so far through chapter 5
- Review: This book is simple enough for a child yet never feels like you are reading a childs book. The illustrations, descriptions and everything has been very simple to follow and very easy to understand. I have never had a book to be so well written that I can understand it without having to refer to another book to answer this books questions.

- By Mohamad from BERKSHIRE UK on Wednesday, June 18, 2014
- Review: Very good Quality kit. It has everything you need for the PPL. But make sure you find out the Custom charges before hand, as I ended up paying 25% of the value of the kit for Custom and taxes once delivered in the UK.

Highly recommended by instructor and student
- By Dianne from Guam, USA on Monday, March 12, 2007
- Pros: Student satisfied, good price.
- Cons:
- Review: I ordered this for my student pilot, and was impressed with the promptness of delivery, quality of the books and supplies, as well as the pilot bag everything came in. It has been several years since I was at a flight school that used the kits, in Calif, but ordered the kit because of satisfaction from before.

Quality Flight Training Materials
- By Brian from Olathe KS USA on Thursday, October 15, 2015
- Pros: All Inclusive
- Cons: Out of Date
- Review: I have been pleased with this kit. Everything is good quality and came in good condition. The bag was a nice bonus! My only complaint is that the materials are a little out of date (I purchased 8/2015 and received 2014 materials). While the FAA does not change very much, they release updates to materials multiple times per year. As of yet, I have not come across any places where this has caused an issue. Overall, I am glad I chose this kit!

Suitable
- By Mark from Lewiston ID USA on Friday, August 29, 2008
- Pros: Clearly written, good diagrams and pictures, helpful tips.
- Cons: A bit fast on the practical lessons, but can be broken down.
- Review: Although frequently criticized for being too fundamental, the books, flight computer and plotter are completely adequate for student preparation. I am sharing this kit with a person who has zero flight experience and it serves the purpose nicely... without overwhelming those with less aeronautical experience.

- By Paul from Becida MN USA on Wednesday, February 02, 2011
- Pros: specific, to the point information.
- Cons: I have not used any other ground school curriculum. I cannot compare this to any other.
- Review: Special notice areas in the chapters are great, along with the review questions. Charts and illustrations are also very good. All this helps to reinforce the important parts of each chapter. I am considering purchasing the DVD set, as there is a a lot of information and this may be another avenue to reinforce it.

Great Kti
- By A Customer from Aiken SC USA on Monday, January 19, 2009
- Review: Great Kit for your ground lessons. If I had it to do over again, I would probably order the Jeppesen DVDs or the DVD kit from sportys. But, I am old school and don;t mind reading. Anything Jeppesen is worth the money and this kit has EVERYTHING that you need to start your flying lessons.

- By from Ohio on Friday, April 13, 2007
- Pros: Alot of studying material for a new pilot

- Review: I'm still haven't completed the course, but I'm real impressed with all the material coverage. I think it's missing one book though, The Syllabus, that puts all the study info into a format.

- Cons: Sample FAA exam guide was not the latest version.
- Review: It's lot of information, but well worth it. Everything you need for a ground school program in one package. More interesting than the old student pilot books.

Great
- By A Customer from Nevada on Friday, September 25, 2009
- Pros: Organized and Explained Well
- Cons: Not much
- Review: The books in this pack are great. They cover most of what you need. Every book is useful and every one you will more than likely go all the way through while studying for the three tests to a license. Organization is key to studying for these exams too, and this is supremely organized. There are just some little things here and there that are not fully explained, but a quick question to your flight instructor fixes that problem.

wish it had review questions/study guide for written test.
- By peter from Laramie WY USA on Thursday, July 09, 2015
- Pros:
- Cons: main manual is schitzophrenic
- Review: i read a 1970's Jepesson manual that was much easier for me to read than the current version. I passed written when 15 years old, and had less trouble with that manual than current Jeppeson manual. so i have read 3 manuals total, and find the current Jep manual in this kit is the least to my liking for ease of reading.

Pretty pictures, minimal information, not geared toward a learner
- By Rocky G from Madison WI USA on Wednesday, March 12, 2008
- Pros: Appealing look to a young teenager
- Cons: Minimal info that is needed, not presented in a way that induces learning
- Review: The Jeppesen Private pilot Manual is full of pictures, but most are there for the "look of the book" instead of for teaching. Its presentation (look) is geared to the 10th grade level. More thought (and space) to the printed text with the learner in mind, would have made this a better book. I recommend Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook instead (discovered at the library). It is written in such a way that you will learn (and truly understand) the material automatically by virtue of reading it. Concepts are clearly explained rather than just being there for you to memorize while scratching your head. The Jeppesen is presented in a "here, memorize this, and look at this pretty but unhelpful picture." Machado's book is also about 1/2 the price of the Jeppesen.
