Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Some subjects are a bit short handled, some are a bit simplistic.

Overall good, interesting, memory-resfreshing.

Useful as a complement of other studies.

Marvellous edition with tons of technical questions nicely ordered by topic. A must have for every (commercial or private) pilot even for people not looking to go on interview straight-away, but just want to brush up their knowledge.

3 remarks:

- I have to agree with the previous reviews on the fact that there are plenty of errors, the least the author/publisher could do, is build a list with errata.

- some more illustrations would have been nice – but it is no reason for not buying this book

- pitty there’s no CD with a quiz of the covered questions, but then again: it’s a book (not software).

This is probably one of the best organized and satright forward aviation books I’ve come across. VEry well thought and the way the information is laid out makes it much easier to understand since it’s progressive following a logical order of ideas, revisiting concepts from some questions to others that relate in order for the reader to fully apply all the knowledge in understanding more complex concepts

Rating:4 out of 5 stars
All pilots must have such a book like this one. Although it’s main purpose is to help in Job’s interviews it’s also a very good tool to review many topics we don’t use to view since our private and comercial pilot’s classes. I just would like to see more illustrations and it needs a few corrections too.

A must have for anyone who’s looking for a refresh in aviation knowledges. I would recommend to everybody going for an airline assesment.

The book has glaring errors about even very basic subjects. In my opinion (airline training captain) it should have been removed from the market years ago.

If you want to pass your interview in one of those big major airlines, this book is for you.

As a reference book to mantain you in shape it’s Ok too.

Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Great idea for the book BUT spoiled by incorrect facts and explanations on almost every page! Thus it is good if you use it for the questions but NOT the answers.

Someone (wish I had the time) needs to list all the corrections on a website (just a suggestion) for this book to be fully utilised – until the author can correct the mistakes. (if someone gets the website off the ground, I will gladly contribute correct answers)

Having said this, I am still glad I got the book for the questions and to be pointed in the right direction. If only the author would correct the answers….

I found myself browsing through this helpful book for backup or just reviewing items so important for my flight carrier.

Always useful, practical and very well explained.
10 Benn Walker October 18, 2010 at 10:14 pm: Proof-reader needed
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Like everyone else says, it’s great for questions…not so much for the answers. Even just a proofreading would have been nice. I saw “sheer” and “shear” swapped three times (e.g. “wind sheer” and something like “due to shear thrust”). The lift equation was presented as a SUM of density, velocity, lift coefficient, and area rather than the product. And the list goes on….

But then again, it’s great for questions to think about! It might be best to buy a used copy that’s been marked with corrections.

Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Good book I bought to catch up on some of the questions you always get, when you have oral exams, and want to explain something difficult in a simple way – this book does the trick.

But, lookout for the errors – not all of the information is totally correct – when you simplify things, often the knowledge gets so compressed, that errors are bound to occur.

This book is a great help for pilots interested in developping their skills and to be prepared for screenings in the major companies of the world.

Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I can pretty much sum up this “helpful aid” in the following words: if you’re a “rote memorizer” go ahead and buy the book, but you better pray that you never end up in front of me during your interview because the hole you will dig will be painful.

However, if you’re a conscientious pilot who has done his or her homework you will have expert knowledge in the fundamentals of aviation, which will carry more weight than any “cheat sheet” will ever have.

Perfect way to keep your knowledge for ATPL theorie up to date in your head. Doesn’t cover every (boring) part of the syllabus, but reviews the most important pieces. A must have for commercial pilots
