  • 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 $$$$.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
