Bob Gardner has updated ASA's Complete Pilot Series, The Complete Private Pilot, now in its Ninth Edition. This textbook, a part of ASA's Complete Pilot Series, is written for anyone interested in pursuing a Private Pilot or Recreational Pilot certificate.

In a conversational yet concise writing style, Bob Gardner covers everything you need to know in the adventure of becoming a pilot. He provides tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, as well as sound advice from personal experience. The Complete Private Pilot helps readers not only prepare for the FAA Knowledge Exam, but also for the cockpit. Several chapters refer to aeronautical charts, and a full-color example of a sectional chart is provided for use with the many interactive exercises throughout the text.

Each chapter concludes with a sample of questions taken directly from the FAA exam. This allows students to quickly grasp the subjects presented, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational understanding of flight they can take into the real world as newly-minted private pilots.

Included throughout the book are internet links for weather charts, flight planning and more. Practical application of the FAA exam, along with comprehensive coverage in one convenient volume all comes together in The Complete Private Pilot.

The Complete Private Pilot is a companion textbook for Virtual Test Prep-an Aviation Ground School in DVD format. An integrated Flight/Ground Syllabus for both Part 141 and 61 programs is also available for use with this text. The book is softcover, with a Foreword by Richard Taylor, and a glossary and index are included. It has 336 pages, and is illustrated. The Complete Private Pilot is $24.95, ISBN 1-56027-449-2.
