Awful |
| In reality, it's not an awful book. In fact, there are quite a number of things which can be filed under the "good to know" category. However, I'm so bitter at paying such an outrageous price for this book that I simply cannot bring myself to give it anything more than a very poor rating. Don't bother, there are better (and more reasonably priced) sources. |

I am a bit puzzled |
| This book is over rated! It comes across as giving the pilot all these tips and formula�s but falls way short on the task. First off, the typeset fills only half the page making the book in reality about 25 pages. It goes on to show you basic math found in any private pilot instruction guide. FH/C temp conversion, subtracting military time, and RVR which is all the same as in the NOS/Jep charts and Ops manuals for the plane you fly. The second half of the book has the times tables, subtraction tables, and division tables. He put fuel dump calculations in along with wet runway computations, this is not only a waste for pilots flying anything short of a jet, but worthless due to FMS and EFIS on bigger airplanes not to mention the F/E sitting sideways behind the captain. In short the book is outdated. finding reciprocals, compass turns to a heading, and ANDS are all in the flight manuals. In short this book fails to teach much. It is not worth the [price] that is for sure. |

Essential for interview preperation. |
| This is an excellent book for anyone preparing for an airline interview. I was recently hired by a regional airline and several interview questions consisted of mental math problems. Buy this book and the ATP test prep....good luck! |
