Best compilation start to finish of regs/procedures/pilot info
By William
from Tustin CA USA
on Monday, June 23, 2014
Pros: Tons of important info in one well done book.
Cons: Over priced. Should be $30-$40 rather than $50-60. Given the high price book should contain more color pages/diagrams. The book includes some sexist humor for which the author makes no apologies. Fine. I like women as well as the next guy but in this day and age I think we could do without it in a publication of this type.
Review:
Was able to look through a borrowed version before buying one for myself. Wealth of vital information presented in a logical progression of a flight. Like taking all your ground school notes over many years and printing them out in a clear and consise form. Author lends his opinions and views based on his years of flying experience explaining the reason for some regs/proc rather than just stating them. A must have for any commercial or advanced private pilot. Probably over kill and too much for average weekend pilot. I also recommend having it spiral bound for easier use.

This book is done in an outline form, subject by subject. The most complete Commercial/ATP book you will find. Great if you are a student and want to know it all or if you are a CFI it will teach you something new on just about every subject. Jeffrey CFII MKE, WI.

A COMPENDIUM OF AVIATION INFO
By Tony

Pros: Well laid out an expansive; nothing overliooked
Cons: Can overwhelm a novice pilot
Review:
This book exceeded my expectations. It has more information in one place than any other document. It can be overwhelming for a student pilot, however the material aimed at an ATP can be glossed over until what you need is found. As soon as I received "Everything" I immediately purchased one for my brother, also an aviator. Tony D ATP (B-737) CFI (ASMEL-I)

It is in an easy to read, outline format, but still in excruciating detail. It's full of funny clip art, "real world" answers and comical anecdotes to really hit it home. I was actually able to read it cover to cover in a week (not like me at all).

For a CFI who took an 18 year hiatus from flying, this book was a real find. It was exasperating to dig through the FAR's and AIM trying to update myself on the changes to airspace, currency, etc. It shortened this process considerably. Everything is easy to find, explained clearly, and in depth. It is well worth the price. Should be in every pilot's library Student to ATP.

Everything I'd Heard Is True
By Mark
from Colorado Springs CO USA
on Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Pros: Clean, Humorous, Indepth, Encyclopedic
Cons: A Bit Sexist In Parts
Review:
I have been studying for my private pilot oral exam and whenever some question had me confused I would Google for information and it seems like over half the time Google would find some page from Everything Explained. The author has selected pages online and even that small subset was enough to answer many of my questions. After a couple of days of printing them out to study I decided I should just buy the whole book and I'm glad I did. Of course since it covers commerical, instrument, ATP, etc. etc. there is way more information in there than I need as a private pilot candidate but I found myself reading deeper anyway (a good pilot is always learning and such ...) because it is typically clearly written and accessible and often humorous. If I had to find any fault with this book it would be the occasional sexist bits the author throws in (like the picture of the young attractive woman in the pilot seat and the leering male climbing in next to her with the caption "every flight instructor's dream") Given the extreme depth of the authors experience and knowledge he has obviously been flying for a long time and so started when these attitudes were more common and acceptable, still it would be easy enough to leave those bits out.

Everything Explained is just that-Everything
By Daniel
from SAINT AUGUSTINE FL USA
on Thursday, January 15, 2009
Pros: Too many to list
Cons: Can't think of any
Review:
This book covers it all in plain language. Subjects are well categorized so answers to specific questions are easy to find. A great reference for study before checkrides, tests, interviews, etc., or just to get that question answered you've always wondered about but could never quite find in the FAR's. The price is good investment for the professional pilot.

Great book, easy read
By A Customer
from Fort Myers Beach FL USA
on Monday, May 18, 2009
Pros: Can take in data in small bites
Cons: Not really set up in format to pass rating
Review:
I would not use it to study to pass a specific test but great to pick up to read in small bites to continue learning and stay current. Great format for so all the information a pilot needs to know regardless of your rating.

Must Have!
By Nyle

Pros: not written by a lawyer but still very informative
Cons: none yet
Review:
My favorite book. I hadn't heard of this book until two weeks before my CFI checkride. After reading parts and referencing it to answer questions my mind was blown. When I question something this is the first place I go. A must have for any pilot!

This is the "yellow pages" of aeronautical knowledge. If you want to know something just look it up and its there. Covers all parts of the FARS, weather, basic operating procedures, and much more. Also puts some humor in there, very fun and informative book to read! It is what they say it is!

By Nichole

Pros: Easy read, fun, tons of information
Cons: Little quirky in organization - so sometimes cant find exact topic without digging a little

If you can't find the answer anywhere else - I guarantee it'll be in this book.

Fun and informative - there are great explainations and tons of dorky facts you can't forget

Pros: Need to know info, fun to read!
Cons: could not find any typos
Review:
Great for the beginner, outragiously simple to read and understand. to the point, no B.S., straight facts with reference to important rules and regulations. Anyone and everyone who has or is about to obtain a pilot license should be required to have this book, even people who fly as passengers would benifit and be entertained at the same time!!

This book is really an advanced aviation book. It takes you from a private pilot to airline transport pilot. The book is like an aviation encyclopedia. I think the price is good for all the knowlege the book gives. I highly recommend this book to anybody who plans to fly professionally.

FARs demystified
By Rock Palermo
from Lake Charles, LA
on Monday, April 30, 2007
Pros: If it is not in this book, you probably don't need to know it
Cons: For a beginning pilot it might scare you to know that the government can complicate flying this much
Review:
As an ATP and a lawyer I was most impressed with the wealth of information this book provides. It is thorough and well organized all while making very dry material entertaining. As a lawyer, it is the best source for making sense of the regulations. As a pilot, it an almanac for all things aviation.

Number 1
By Grant C. Besley
from Taos, NM
on Tuesday, May 15, 2007
Pros: Tons of useful information that is easy to find and read.
Cons: The mix of Part 91,135,121 sometimes gets difficult to sort out.
Review:
This book pretty much has everything. It makes you chuckle rather than snore. If it's not in here you probably don't need to know it. It also has "foot stompers" or special need to know items marked so as to catch your attention. This is the best information book in my library. I'm going to throw out my FAR/AIM (just kidding).

Excellent and fun
By Max Tardiveau
from Oakland, CA
on Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Pros: It's got everything
Cons: A little pricey
Review:
No question -- this is a must-have for any pilot. The tone is light, with some corny humor, but it's all there. You don't have to look anywhere else. And everything is referenced so you can go back to the original regs if you feel like it.
Any time I have a question about regs, this book has the answer. It's worth having it just to settle bets with other pilots about obscure points of law.

Great Book!
By Tony
on Friday, February 22, 2008
Pros: Plain English, humor, easy pics illustrate amazingly well
Cons: May not get as detailed as you'd like: ie RNP status
Review:
Love this book. Easy to read and understand and love the fact that he quotes FAR/AIM to address were the info is coming from. Sometimes a little hard to find somethings (military says uncontrolled field vs. the book's nontowered field), but the index helps out. Would recommend this book to any and all flyers as a must have.

By sw

Pros: easy to use, lots of diagrams and humorous too!
Cons: none
Review:
I heard about this book from my instrument flight instructor and ordered it! It is an excellent, concise reference for all aviation topics. It is so good I ordered one for a fellow pilot for Christmas! He also thinks it's excellent. Price is a little steep but it's easier to use than digging through the FARs or the AIM for an answer.

Great for military pilots
By Sean
from Dallas/Fort Wort Metroplex
on Thursday, September 06, 2007
Pros: Simple Format
Cons: None
Review:
It is somewhat of a transition to go from military aviation to commercial aviation. This book makes it much easier for any military pilot to learn civil aviation rules. I would definitely recommend it for the transitioning pilot.

Best reference book I ever bought!
By Av8trix
on Sunday, May 27, 2007
Pros: Comprehensive, easy to understand.
Cons: Pricy.
Review:
I was reluctant to buy this book for a long time, due to its price. I finally ordered it, wanting to brush up on a few things prior to an interview, and boy, is this book worth it! It covers just about everything, from the basics to instrument and commercial, and part 135 and 121 material. I wish I had this book to study from for all my checkride orals in the past- It would have made things a lot easier. Pricy, but 100% worth it!
