A lot of them has been mentioned here but the thread has been closed:
Ace the technical pilot interview.
Among the errors there are:
- bad lift formula
- bad Dutch Roll description
- wrong description of how crosswind affects critical engine
+ a few others.

Just wanted to continue the list:

P6. What is direct lift control? I think the explanation is flawed. When I think of direct lift control I think of:

p13. Figure 1.9 is not matching description

p67. What are the advantages of a wide-chord fan engine? Chord is described as "The chord is the length of the fan's blade from its center mounting to its tip."

I found this book to be a big disappointment. It is extremely thorough in the amount of topics it covers, but is poorly written and poorly researched in many spots.

I am still grateful to the guy that wrote The Ace... book. Of course some of the explanations are a little confusing, some are not bang on, but you get a great opportunity to review all this material, and cover your weaknesses. When you suspect mistakes, check with another source.

Stingray,

I agree. I have used it alot in my preparations.

Just trying to get all the mistakes in one place.
