Title: Good books
Post by: ikkie on March 13, 2006, 04:23:34 PM
Hi everyone...I am trying to get information on getting my pilot's license and was wondering what books are out there that are worth buying...just got back from barnes & noble and they didn't have much of a selection (surprising considering EAA is held a few miles away). Just looking for basic informative books meant for those wishing to get a pilots license...thanks!

Start with Stick and Rudder, even seasoned pilots should read this. Next try e-bay look for Gleim Pilot handbook and FAR/AIM these don't have to be current if you get them cheap. Join AOPA.

Jeppesen products are a very easy read and are the typical text for flight academies and flight schools.  You may also want to look for a book called...
"Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot in Plain English"...it can be found at most pilot shops or I even found a copy of it on ebay.
