Format:Paperback
On the whole the book is accessible on many different levels, and because it covers a large range of topics there is something to learn from it whoever you are. I would recommend this book to anyone who has just achieved their PPL as you do find that having got your license you're left in the open somewhat, without anyone to guide you through. However, having been written from the perspective of a pilot in the USA, certain sections are just not applicable, and certain advice doesn't really apply in the UK. For example, There is a whole chapter on Class B airspace which as yet doesn't exist in the UK, and there is a lot of details about the FAA and local procedures, including slightly different terminology.
Having said that, it's a good back to compliment the PPL syllabus but see if you can pick it up cheap second hand.

Take it to the next level!!!!!

Format:Paperback
You would think that after you got your license you would not have any problem finding stuff to do. Well, not so easy. This book covers everything from grass fields, prepping your family for flight in small aircraft, basic engine care, it is all here. This is a good book for the newly licensed

Great Book for the New Pilot
7 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book answers very well the question, "Now that I've got my pilot's license, what can I do with it?" The author shows that there can be so much more to being even a casual pilot than just shooting three touch-and-goes every 90 days to stay current and legal. Very well organized into bite-sized chapters, each of which covers one particular suggestion, the book was inspirational to this low-time pilot. Even if you only take advantage of a small fraction of the suggestions, and even if there are parts of it that you have no interest in, you should still get a lot out of this excellent book.

Should be titled "Private Pilot 101"
29 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
