Taking and passing an FAA Knowledge Exam is required for earning the Private Pilot, Sport Pilot, and Recreational Pilot certificates. Using the FAA exam as the premise for learning, author Bob Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the tests, but also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists, mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A full-color example of a sectional chart is provided in the back for use with the interactive exercises throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA Knowledge Exam questions. A comprehensive glossary and index are included as well. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is not available in any other text! Included in this Twelfth Edition are internet links for useful aviation websites, weather charts, flight planning, etc., with a section showing examples of online weather sources and more (with full-color examples of weather chart products). Also included is information on the new ICAO-based flight planning form, scenario-based training, single-pilot resource management, and learner-centered grading. This is a convenient, comprehensive source for this information?everything complete in one book! With Gardner's approachable yet concise writing style, readers are able to quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and gain an operational understanding of flight they can take straight to the cockpit. The Complete Private Pilot works as a companion textbook to ASA's Private Pilot Virtual Test Prep DVD Ground School. An integrated Flight/Ground Syllabus for both Part 141 and 61 programs is also available to accompany the textbook. Foreword by Richard Taylor.

Nice Quality Publication - Almost Too Detailed
Wanted it for a review of flying since I've been out of the loop for a bit - it will be helpful but is probably still a bit geared to information which is more helpful for exams than for everyday flying. I assume the everyday stuff is in there but this is almost overly comprehensive for what I needed so may be too much info to "wade thru" for my use. Will probably use it more to look up something than to read cover to cover. On a positive note - my copy was brand new and still in the plastic shrink wrap.

Very good book - Recommended
This book gives the reader a scenic tour through the VFR pilot training process, and the author shares many clever tips that I haven’t seen in similar books. He’s obviously a very experienced pilot and CFI. I didn’t come across any typos or weird formatting; this is a well-edited book. At times the author is also quite funny, which makes for a more enjoyable read. I’ve also read his book on phraseology, “Say Again,” which I recommend. I recently bought another of his books, called “The Advanced Pilot,” which I look forward to reading. The reason I gave just 3 marks is because the charts were all the way in the back, thus inconvenient to access when you’re taking a chapter quiz.

Not so good.
I didn't like this book. Too many of the pics are in b/w and they really do need to be in colour. The book feels rather poor quality and while the writing may be fine, it's not a book I can recommend for pilots, or those trying to become pilots. I returned it and instead went back to the Jeppesen Private Pilot Manual (Guided Flight Discovery). Full colour, everything you need is in there, and it's a well-structured book.
