ICON Aircraft, manufacturer of the ICON A5 Light Sport Aircraft, has released two books — “40 Hours” and “ICONIC Destinations.”
The books are “designed to get more people interested in becoming a pilot, and then guiding and inspiring them throughout their journey,” company officials said in a press release, adding that the new books “mark the airplane manufacturer’s debut in the book publishing space.”
“40 Hours” offers insights and guidance on how student pilots can take command of their flight training, according to ICON officials.
“The core premise is that the FAA requires 40 hours of flight time before earning a private pilot license, but the average student pilot requires twice that much time,” company officials said. “With insights from flight instructors, military pilots, airline pilots, and student pilots, 40 Hours addresses how to avoid flight training from lingering on and becoming a burden when it should be an experience of a lifetime.”
It is available as an eBook, audiobook, and via paperback on Amazon. It is also available on ICON’s online store for $19.99.
“ICONIC Destinations” is a coffee-table photo book that chronicles some of the most iconic places that ICON A5 owners, flight instructors, and designers have taken the LSA.
The book is “an inspirational look at the world of possibilities and adventures opened up” by the LSA, company officials said.
It is available on demand at Blurb.com, as well as ICON’s online store for $89.99.
