A serious book written in a fun and witty style. More than 1,200 original illustrations and photos. This ebook is a one-of-a-kind manual. You can learn or review by just looking at the pictures. However, the text is laced with Machado's humor and practical training insights, so you will want to read every last word on each page.

Written in the first-person narrative, it's as if Rod is sitting next to you, personally explaining all of the necessary aspects of flying to make you an informed, confident and competent pilot. It is the first book of its kind, completely written and illustrated by one instructor--a CFI with more than three decades of teaching experience, 8,000 hours as a flight instructor and literally hundreds and hundreds of aviation seminars under his belt. Flight instructors will love using the great illustrations with their students. It will also be a favorite for its readability. It's perfect to refresh for a flight review, catch up on new rules or for student pilots to pass their FAA knowledge and oral exams.
