The complete guide to flight instruction
Gregory M. Penglis
This book will take you on a tour of our entire flight training system, from beginner to burnout. You will take a journey, step by step, through each rating and be given the knowledge and tools to avoid all the pitfalls and hassles that every other student will make without this insight. It doesn't matter where you are in your flying, there is something in here for every pilot. There are answers to questions most pilots will never think to ask. There are ideas and solutions to problems most pilots would never even consider. The Complete Guide To Flight Instruction is not a rote, laundry list copy of the procedures listed in the FAA Flight Training Handbook that so many other aviation books have become. Procedures in this book are not the endpoint, they are merely the beginning. Every procedure must have a purpose. Every purpose must fit into the big picture. Every pilot must learn that judgment and decisions are what flying is all about. Here you will learn how to develop judgment and make good decisions. From there you can develop your flying instinct, the most important quality and resource for any pilot. This book is your treasure map through the process. If you want a thorough analysis of everything that is wrong with our flight training system, and how to fix it, if you want a thought-provoking book that challenges everything you have come to believe is possible from your own flying, if you dare to reach beyond the very restrictive boundaries of current teachings, if you want to master flying and teach yourself how to fly the best that you can, then you must read The Complete Guide To Flight Instruction.
