ASA updates Student Pilot’s Flight Manual

By General Aviation News Staff · April 12, 2025 ·

Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) has released the 12th edition of “The Student Pilot’s Flight Manual.”

The book from the legendary flight instructor William K. Kershner, edited by his son, William C. Kershner, is a ground school textbook, maneuvers manual, and syllabus all rolled into one, according to ASA officials.

The manual provides a step-by-step course for student pilots working towards a private or sport pilot certificate.

The softcover manual covers everything students need to know for their first flight, pre-solo, post-solo maneuvers, cross-country, and night flying, ASA officials said.

First published in 1960 and updated continuously since then, the 12th edition features color figures and enhanced instruction to ensure students will be prepared for the classroom, tarmac, and flight deck, company officials added.

The book is available in softcover and as an eBook for $49.95.
