Strafer and Evo:
The book is subtitled: Putting the fun and skill into flying. My impression is that the author, to quote from the introduction, essentially addresses all “qualified private pilots who are unsure of what to do with their expensive and hard-earned qualifications. The world may be full of them, but the skies are empty. . . There is a marked sense of anti-climax and a tendency to wander around the sky like a lost dog, often followed by a loss of interest in flying at all. . . For VFR by day the CAA offers no further goal for the PPL, although there is a yawning gap between the standards of VFR flying of the newly qualified PPL and the experienced and truly competent VFR pilot . . . But the CAA apparently sees no need for further goals in VFR flying for the PPL. . .”
The book then deals with three main areas: a) aircraft handling – b) Navigation and c) Radio and Clearances.
Before posting my original query I should of course have realized that unlike me my fellow Ppruners know full well what to do with their expensive and hard-earned qualifications and obviously have no need of any kind of pep talk or morale booster.
May I add that I am in no way connected with the book’s author or publishers.
