Great customer service on some great books
By Steve W.
from Portland, OR
on Tuesday, April 03, 2018
Pros: Thorough books yet easy to read and follow along. Great illustrations!
Cons: None
Review:
My review covers two things, the customer service at MyPilotStore.com and the books themselves.
The staff at MyPilotStore handled a challenge I had with a pre-paid VISA card courteously and swiftly. I ordered my books on a Saturday and received them on Monday. Fantastic!
The books are the best of both worlds: thorough and easy to follow. I highly recommend them to student pilots.

Very Excited
By A Customer
from Ritzville, WA
on Tuesday, December 29, 2020
Pros: Grandson was delighted with both books
Cons:
Review:
I called my son and asked if my 13 year old grandson would like these books. My son showed him the pictures of the books. He said, "Heck Yeah! He had his first 2 fights with an instructor last year. I had asked his teacher what books would be good for him. With the COVID lock down he has plenty of time to read and study them.

Essential Books for a Pilot's Library
By Martin
from Montreal QC Canada
on Monday, April 10, 2017
Pros: Up to date, comprehensive, informative FAA publication
Cons: Not enough pilots read and understand these books.
Review:
These two up to date books lay the theoretical and practical essentials for all new pilots and serve as an ongoing review for all current ones. A comprehensive range of topics is covered in great detail and supported with clear color illustrations. Additional topics for those upgrading to additional ratings as well as human factors training make these two books indispensable.

Trusted FAA standard with great graphics
By David
from Clay Center KS USA
on Tuesday, February 06, 2024
Pros: Great illustrations, written in aviation language yet easy to understand, a comfortable size to hold.
Cons: As with all aviation literature it will be updated regularly.
Review:
These updated versions of the classic standards are thorough, readable, fairly easy to understand, comprehensive, and well illustrated in color. The advantages of a paper copy are that of marking with tabs, putting notes in the margin, highlighting, and bookmarking your progress. They are easy to refer back to if used properly.

HUGE improvement over previous edition!
By Michael
from Oak Park MI USA
on Monday, February 27, 2017
Pros: Concise and informative
Cons:
Review:
The previous (2008) edition had an errata list nearly as long as the book. Most were glaringly obvious errors that didn't get caught before printing. It made you wonder if no one had proof read it.
This new edition corrects all of those errors and explains some concepts more thoroughly. Yes, it took 8 years for the government to just simply correct its own error-riddled publication, but they finally did it.
The weather theory section could be a bit more complete since it's important to know. I also would've liked to have a few pages of exercises rather than just the single example problem for each topic (e.g. weight & balance, performance calculations, E6-B, use of the plotter, dead reckoning, etc).

Pros:

Review:
They both have a wealth of information. One covers recommended procedures for various types maneuvers, and avionics. The other explains everything aviation. It is good to go back and review something you might be a little foggy on. It is a must have for all pilots, especially beginner pilots.
