recommended Reading for PPL
 

Sorry if this has been asked before, guys, but I've been asked to reccomend pre course reading for a PPL student. Now it is years, and some, since I was near your side of the industry. Does anyone have any (helpful) suggestions?

Some of the stuff is quite advanced, but throughout your PPL training a very helpful book would be Wolfgang Langewiesche's 'Stick and Rudder'. It helped me grasp many of the concepts involving flying.

Trevor Thoms / The Air Pilots Manuals.
A good series to start with. Everybody seems to use them so you couldn't really go wrong.

AFE Jeremy Pratt - lotsa nice piccies and not too much waffle. Depends on yer student really but the vast majority I encounter prefer AFE fer that reason alone. Ole Trev goes into a lot of detail (all good I might add) but not exactly..... errr........ what someone needs to be reading after a long day in the office prior to their 10th flying lesson the very next day.

It's only my opinion and like arseholes, we all have one so don't take it as golden. As I say - down to yer student really and their level of 'stick-with-it-ness'.

T.Thom for speccy types.

AFE for the others.

VFE.

I found 'Being a Pilot and Transexual; a journey through an emotional jumble sale'. is great reading. I think VFE wrote it.

No, I only published it. Cheers fer the nod tho.
