Aviation Books

This series of test preparation guides for pilots covers the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) exams for applicants seeking licensing by the FAA. The FAA publishes a question database on the Internet to help applicants prepare for the exams, but they do not supply the correct answers. This series is fashioned to aid the applicant in studying for an exam by providing answers and explanations for every question in the FAA exam database. Designed to encourage self-testing and promote memory recall, these books arrange topics by subject category and are accompanied by specific study material for each category.

One of the most talked-about features of Flying, the world's premier aviation magazine, is Howard Fried's "Eye of the Examiner." Using accounts of real-life checkride follies, failures, and triumphs Fried describes in detail how flight tests are conducted and familiarizes readers with the process, helping pilots avoid mistakes and improve their preaparedness for the FAA checkride. Flight test Tips & Tales contains 60 previously published columns that will inform and entertain.
