- Pros: many good equations that make flying easier
- Review: Overall very good. Would have liked to see more on compass turn equations. the equation to find reciprocal headings was a easy mental math equation that I've never heard before, its helped me alot in my IFR training. as I said before I would have liked to see more on compass turns (the main reason I bought the book was to try to find easy ways to figure out how many seconds to turn since I'm not a math whiz) but overall the other equations that were applicable to GA flying were informative and I did learn from this book.
