["Prince" Singh]

1997 - I was a young flight instructor - this is one of the books that made a forever change in my professional and personal life! Never looked back since.
Simple, and to the point, but wealth of wisdom that you can't find in text books.

[Jason Stavrou]

One of the best books ever for general aviation, I’d recommend any part 91 pilot to read this.
