Each guide in this comprehensive series covers the fundamentals of flying and the principal characteristics of a specific type of aircraft, gathered from the advice and experiences of leading experts in the aviation industry. Geared for pilots looking to supplement their individual plane's official flight manual, these sourcebooks provide an overview of the aircraft and detailed descriptions of its handling characteristics, limitations, and performance data. A history of each airplane's use and function is also included.
This guide is short, something like 120 or 130 pages, but packed full of information. A must-read (but certainly NOT the only book you'd want to read) for anyone learning about the Cessna 172.
