Must have for pilots. One of the best FAA preparation books around.

Even at first glance, you can tell that it's a well made textbook. Just over one and a half inches thick, it's chock full of useful information. Every chapter has explains its learning objectives, and there is NOT A SINGLE PAGE that is without full color illustrations. There are so many diagrams, drawings, and helpful illustrations; all of which are context specific and aid the text very well. The best part is, none of it is boring. All instructional text is very clearly explained. You are told the how's and the why's of FAA regulation, and there a huge amount of interesting historical aviation reference. Most of the time, when you are passionate about something, and you want to learn more, you will seek out books and schooling. And then you are handed these huge dull textbooks that, that bore and suck the passion out of you until you just want to quit. This is not the case with this book. You will find that this book will impress, surprise and enjoyably give you what you need to know. By the end of it, you will be well educated and excited to fly.

Excellent, if FAA-specific, book.

The Instrument Commercial Manual is unquestionably one of the best volumes written to take a student from PPL to CPL/ATPL level. The many illustrations, explanations and pull-outs serve their purpose well. However, given the amount of theoretical material in the book, it may be less useful for non-FAA students. If you're studying for the European JAR ATPL, or any other non-US licence, you might want to look for a different text. Nonetheless: Highly Recommended for all FAA students!

Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial Manual

An excellent reference for the student all the way to the airline pilot. This is the best aviation book I have seen published in years. It has great pictures, illustrations, examples, and quizzes that will challenge any pilot. This book is a must for every pilot. Period.

Great Classroom Textbook

This book is a great teaching/learning tool. There is a picture or pictures on almost every page to emphasize the text. It simplifies the learning process by explaining everything in great detail and not in a dry way either.I love this book. What I have said here does not do this book justice. You have to read it for yourself. We use this book here at Purdue University in our Aviation Program.
