Prospective pilots are offered a thorough understanding of flying fundamentals as well as the aeronautical knowledge needed to earn a private-pilot certificate in this guide to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Knowledge Exams. Topics such as basic aerodynamics, flight instruments, communication procedures, and weather are discussed and augmented with checklists, mnemonic devices, specific tips, and special learning techniques that help students quickly grasp the information, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational and practical understanding of the private-pilot certificate. Each chapter concludes with sample questions taken directly from FAA exams. Review: Makes the learning almost easier - I am currently taking my flight training & Ground school for a Canadian Private Pilot ticket. The Ground School I am attending uses FROM THE GROUND UP as the text... I purchased the COMPLETE PRIVATE PILOT before I registered in the ground school, and so own both texts. This book makes the learning alot easier. As I compare the presentation material, this version if much more understandable, less dry and easier to grasp. Covers all the necessary material (obviously since it is indeed called The COMPLETE Private Pilot)... Recommended for new students and I suspect some experienced pilots who want to refresh or review.. Review: Good PPL Book - Covers all the necessary topics for the Private Pilot Knowledge Test. Does so in a readable and clear manner. Very good value for money compared with the "glossy" training book...and also a great deal lighter to carry around!

not a replacement for "From the Ground Up"
This is a good review for me after 25 years. I liked Bob Gardner's way of reinforcing the information with stories from his own experience. The test are tough.

Great Starting Point and Well Rounded
Great way to learn about all subjects within the private pilot certification requirements. You probably don't want to use it solely for reference as it's written like a book. The book is VERY straight forward but if you don't like reading then this isn't the time to try.
