Phil Croucher - JAR Professional Pilot Studies Book

[albanianpilot737]

Hello there,

I ask all of you there, and i really need some help to figure it out which would the best out of all Phil Croucher JAR Professional Pilot Studio Guide.

There is One with the Front cover Blue color and i believe there is a Boeing 757 in front of it. this version i found on Pooleys Web site.

Than the second one is with a 747 front cover and it says Black and White addition... and this i found in Flightstore.com



I would really Appreciate if you can let me know what you think and if you know something regarding these two books.

Hi there - the best one is always available from my web site - it takes time to filter down through the sales chain, and I try to keep the amendments as small as possible for this reason. Bear in mind that the pictures on web sites are not changed very often!

The main reason for the changes is that we have been amending the UK question database and this process has nearly finished so I have included the work that was done on them.

The latest edition is A4 sized with 558 pages and has the 747 on the front (looks like it's about to hit the terminal window!)

Thanx Capt

Thanx for your help Capt, i will definitely buy that that version.
What is your web site anyway and i will probably purchase it soon.

I also saw at this web site : Pilot Training & Ground Studies - Electrocution's Aviation Books

They have in black and White and in Colors.

Book £59.95 Colour Version £125

Does it really make a difference and is it worth paying double the money for just to have it with colors...

Thanks Again for your help

Excellent

Hi All,

I finally got around to reading through the subjects I'm currently working on in this book. Excellent is all I need to say. Definitely worth the dosh. Its to the point and clear.

Albanianpilot - that other web site is the publisher (i.e. me) - it's probably easiest to get the book directly from there

Glad u guys like it!

With the ISBN provided, the one on amazon directs me to this;

JAR Private Pilot Studies: Phil Croucher: Amazon.co.uk: Books

Private Pilots Book??

Is this the correct one?

Also, what would be the quickest way of obtaining a copy of the book?

Many Thanks

[paco]

The ISBN should be 0-9681928-2-3

The quickest way is to pop into any of the main pilot shops, but it comes through the post within a week off my website

Cost discrepancies

Paco,

From your website, the cost of the book is 125 pounds. From Self Publishing - Lulu.com, the cost is US$278.82. Converting the pounds to US$ based on today's exchange rate, i don't think the US$ cost is correct? Perhaps you would like to clarify?

Thanks

[paco]

Are you talking about the colour one? I had to adjust the prices because of the dollar but it's gone the other way again - It should now come up as $185


Phil

You have just gain another customer!

Great book

i have the B&W in my flight bag and the Color version in my library!

very useful

[Pitch+Power]

I am (hopefully) coming to the end of my ATPL's - and I have found this to be a great book.. very concise and can cut through a lot of the excess material.

Thank You Mr Croucher

[paco]

Aw shucks - I just hope your path was easier than mine!

B&W or COLOR version???

I too am studying for the JAA exams and after reading this thread would like to know if the black and white version is going to be as good as the color one for studying?

TFO

[paco]

There may be the odd picture where the difference in colours is not apparent, but the B & W should be fine otherwise.

Thank you Phil.
Which company do you recommend purchasing it from in the U.S.A.?
Purchasing it from outside the U.S. will add extra fees because of the different currency (and such) on my credit card.

Thanks again.

Our normal distributor is Helicopters Only in MA, but i know he doesn't stock that particular one.

You can get it from my website and it will be printed and delivered in the US, but if that's a problem, you should be able to get it in US funds by going direct to one of our printers at Self Publishing - Lulu.com and doing a search for it. Or you can send a cheque in US funds and I can deal with it through the Canadian side?

Thank you Phil.
I actually ordered the book online from Aviationworld yesterday. I just got into the meteorology subject and thought I could probably use some good guidance with the JAA questions, couldn't wait around too long...

Thanks again,

TFO.
