The Complete Private Pilot

by: Bob Gardner
Great way to learn about all subjects within the private pilot certification requirements. You probably don't want to use it solely for reference as it's written like a book. The book is VERY straight forward but if you don't like reading then this isn't the time to try.

101 Things To Do With Your Private Pilot's License

by: LeRoy Cook
I found this book to be excellent and instructive, though not what its title implied to me. I thought it would be, as the title suggests, a hundred and one things to do with your private pilots' license, i.e. vacations, an adjunct to your employment, hundred-dollar hamburgers, etc. Instead, it was much more in-depth instructional and informative as to the nuts and bolts of safe flying and how to keep learning; don't let the PPL be the end of your training. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know what they are getting into, and how they should approach the subject, when they start flight training.

Cessna 172

by: Jeremy Pratt
I haven't flown in many years. Before using a computer flight simulator I needed a review of the Cessna 172. This book provided just what I was looking for. It will not teach me how to fly but, it will bring back once known facts and settings of this aircraft and make X-Plane more meaningful.

Cost very reasonable, shipping was quick and the book was well packaged.
