The Complete Private Pilot

About this book

This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.

Anyone interested in pursuing a Private Pilot, Sport Pilot, or Recreational Pilot Certificate needs this textbook. In a friendly, readable style, the author, a long-admired member of the aviation community, comprehensively covers all the details involved in the adventure of learning to fly.

An FAA Knowledge Exam is required to earn a Private Pilot Certificate. Using the FAA exam as the foundation for learning, Bob Gardner applies practical information, preparing readers not only for the test, but also for taking flight. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge with specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A provided full-color example of a sectional chart supports the many interactive exercises throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with review questions that simulate those found on the FAA test. A comprehensive glossary and index are included to simplify study. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is only available in The Complete Private Pilot!

  • Includes links to helpful resources on the internet for weather charts, flight planning information, and more.
  • For instructors, an available integrated flight/ground school syllabus for both Part 141 and Part 61 programs enhances the textbook.

Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
