Excellent
- By Jade from Thornton CO USA on Monday, May 4, 2015
- Pros: Specific, concise.
- Cons: A bit narrow in scope, focuses specifically on the knowledge the FAA wants to tes on the written.
- Review: This book addresses the knowledge on two levels, it specifically deals with the questions that an applicant will see on the exam and the information in the way the FAA wants to see it, but it also does a good job of explaining the concepts. I wouldn't write an FAA exam without one of these references.

Loving it, very helpful
I have used these study guides on my private,instrument, and commercial. Very satisfied.
- By Jeff from Kaysville UT USA on Monday, April 28, 2008
- Pros: Clear, to the point. Straightforward.
- Cons: None
- Review: I passed my private, instrument, instrument instructor, and commercial all with scores in the 90 percent range with the help of these study guides. Very clear to the point. Some good alternatives for solutions to some problems, i.e. weight and balance weight shift equation. NDB problems could use a little more explaining for some questions. Will use them for instruction and help when I get My CFI ratings.

Its a book that helps you pass but could use some work
- By Anthony from Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, February 4, 2014
- Pros: Answers right next to questions
- Cons: needs a thorough revision.
- Review: Really helped understand most of the math problems and I like how it breaks up each part in sections with the practice test in the back which helps you take a simulated one. Though the questions need to be revised. I used this and the dauntless online software and made a 87. I used dauntless more and they have a lot more questions than gleim. Also, some of the questions dauntless had were not in the gleim book and I saw those on the test.

Would recommend this book
- By J' from Lynchburg VA USA on Tuesday, November 25, 2014
- Pros: Summarize, all the questions
- Cons: Not enough to understand all the concepts
- Review:
Very good book to pass the exam with a good grade. Contains all the questions and very good summarize of what you need to know.
However, it is better to start studying with the FAA book available on their website to be proficient and pass the checkered. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 3 Other people found this review helpful.
Good
- By A Customer from Lee, NH on Monday, April 2, 2007
- Pros: Cheap
- Cons: Still work
- Review: Cheap way to pass the commercial written test. I like the little introduction followed by questions. Interesting I read a number of times the introduction and I was able to answer 90-95% of the questions correctly the first time. I only look at the questions twice. I got 98% and this was the only material I used for the test.

It does the job
- By A Customer from Castro Valley CA USA on Thursday, June 12, 2008
- Pros: Complete in covering the subject matter
- Cons: Can be a bit more expansive in the narrative sections.
- Review: Definitely complete and covered everything I needed to pass the written exam. The practice question were spot-on with answers briefly answered. It lacked in-depth subject treatment, but the authors caution "that the sole purpose of this book is to expedite your passing the FAA pilot knowledge test...". Divided into subject chapters and covers each subject briefly before a question and answer section. Also provides a good summary of the flight time required for the commercial license.

It's okay
- By Clark from HOUSTON TX USA on Monday, August 1, 2011
- Pros: Cost
- Cons: Not descriptive enough. Plane Jane.
- Review: This book is okay, but the explanations could be a lot better. It's all in b&w, and nothing fancy, which matches the price you pay. I haven't tried the expensive DVD options, or Internet options, but I'm sure they are much better.

Traditional Gleim Product
- By A Customer from Waukesha WI USA on Wednesday, January 2, 2008
- Pros: Has the questions you need to study.
- Cons: Answer explanations sometimes aren't very deep-just a restatement of the fact that the answer was wrong.
- Review: It's what you'd expect from a Gleim study guide.
