In choosing questions for his "Test Pilot" material, Barry Schiff asserts, "… If the answer isn't surprising, educational, or entertaining, I don't want it …" (from the Foreword by Thomas Haines, Editor in Chief, AOPA Pilot magazine). Schiff's latest volume compiles fascinating questions from his AOPA Pilot magazine monthly quiz column into one book for a fascinating read.
Organized into eight chapters, the book presents fun facts on the following subjects: History, Piloting, Navigation, Weather, Aircraft, Airlines and Military, Facts of Flight, Procedures and Regulations. Through multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, mix-and-match, and essay questions, the reader is challenged to derive the answer before finding it at the end of the chapter.
