Hi I'm Brendan Quinn-Narkin. I have been a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor since 2002. In 2012 I created my first flight training video course. The video course has been used by over 1,500 student pilots and private pilots around the world. A common question I receive from my customers is, "Besides your DVDs, what else should I study?" To answer that question, in late 2013 I began working on my Private Pilot Study Guide. In it I share with you what I consider to be the best flight training resources available.
The Private Pilot Study Guide Includes:
1) The best book to study in preparation for both the private pilot knowledge test and the oral exam. In chapter 4 you will learn about aerodynamics. Chapter 7 covers flight instruments. In chapter 14 you will learn about different types of airspace and in chapter 15 you will learn about navigation. I provide you with a link so that you can read the book for free.
2) A book which explains in detail each flight maneuver. Chapter 4 covers slow flight, stalls and spins. Chapter 5 covers takeoffs and departure climbs. Chapter 6 covers ground reference maneuvers. Chapter 8 covers landings, including some of the mistakes you might be making during your landings and how to improve them. In chapter 9 you will learn about performance maneuvers, including steep turns.
3) The most important aviation regulations you need to know about and where to access the regulations for free online.
4) A book which contains a ton of useful aeronautical information, including examples of how to communicate in an effective way with Air Traffic Control. (link to the free online version)
5) A book which contains all of the information you need to know about weather. (link to the free online version)
6) A book which explains in detail all of the weather services available to pilots. (link to the free online version)
7) The best way to prepare for the private pilot knowledge test and a site where you can take free practice exams.
8) The book I recommend studying before each flight. (you can borrow it from your flight school)
9) The best book to study in preparation for your checkride. (it's free online)
10) The best way to prepare for a flight lesson. (this will save you time and money and impress your flight instructor)
11) How to prepare for the practical test. (checkride)
12) How to prepare for a flight review, including a free flight review preparation course from the FAA.
13) Accident case study videos. These videos include an in-depth analysis of the factors which lead to an accident, you even hear the actual radio communication. This will help you to understand how accidents happen and the steps you can take to protect yourself.
14) How to study NTSB accident reports, so that you can avoid the mistakes other pilots have made.
15) A collection of some of the best safety articles with useful tips to improve your safety.
16) A NTSB safety video about weather. In this video you learn about the dangers of certain weather conditions and how to protect yourself.
17) A FAA safety video about stalls and spins. Learn about how pilots inadvertently end up in stalls and spins and the best practices to avoid and recover from them.
18) A FAA safety video about disorientation. Disorientation and visual illusions are a major cause of accidents. In this video you learn about how this can happen and how to protect yourself.
19) A FAA safety video about density altitude. Density altitude is often misunderstood by pilots. In this video you travel around the western United States with a couple in their Bonanza, while learning about density altitude.
20) A FAA safety video about fuel management. The number 1 cause of engine failures is fuel starvation. Learn best practices for fuel management and other important safety tips.
21) A safety video about avoiding midair collisions. Learn about the best way to scan for other traffic and steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of a midair collision.
