Promises Best Available Guide, Free Updates To E-Book

Rod Machado has become so well-known as an aviation humorist that you could sometimes forget he's also a CFI with over 8,000 hours of instruction given. Rod has authored his own series of instructional manuals now available in self-updating e-books, and has also expanded into downloadable videos.

The latest addition to his e-bookshelf is Rod Machado's Sport Pilot Handbook, First Edition. Rod promises the book will be fun, and adds, "If you want to learn to fly, or even just learn about what makes a plane fly, you’ll find this lavishly illustrated, fast-paced book to be the best available guide. Written in a clear and witty style, the Sport Pilot Handbook contains more than 1,000 illustrations and photos that are a standalone education about why we can fly.

"Studying for your sport pilot oral and knowledge exams? Everything you need is in this book. It’s not just a beginner’s book—it’s a comprehensive and useful reference resource for sport pilots," he says.

Rod has been teaching people how to fly airplanes since 1973. Using analogies, memory aids, detailed graphics and a little humor, Rod reduces the complexity of aviation subjects to a level the non-technical person can understand.

Rod's e-books are available as as PDF files for reading on up to six computers (PC or Mac) using the free Adobe Digital Editions Reader. They're also available as apps for the iPad, and for the iPhone 3GS and 4, but not the 3G. Rod Machado's Sport Pilot Handbook Version 1.0 sells for $44.99, and Rod promises free updates as future revisions are released.
