Cross Country Navigation Skills for Private Pilots 6 Dec 1999

By Larry Runge - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is an excellent book on VFR navigation for the Private Pilot or student, and it contains a wealth of valuable information as to how to get where you're going without losing yourself along the way. It's written in an easy to understand fashion, and clearly leads the reader through every facet of navigation for Light Planes. I read this book cover to cover without once tiring of the various topics, and would easily rate it as one of the top General Aviation books available today. If you're a student, or a pilot without a lot of cross country flying under your belt, I would heartily recommend this book for your library.
