Ahquabi House Publishing has released “Private Pilot Beginner’s Manual (for Sport Pilots, too)” by Paul Berge.
The 320-page book offers information on how to prepare for private or sport pilot training, according to the publishers, who note the book’s purpose is to offer a friendly and informative welcome to anyone who dreams of flight without scaring the future pilot way with unnecessarily dense academics. Aerodynamics, FARs, weight and balance, aviation weather and cross-country planning are all presented in a practical manner designed to stay with the pilot long after earning a certificate.
