“If the Airline Transport Pilot certificate is the Ph.D. of aviation,
the Commercial and Instrument tickets represent the bachelor’s and
master’s degrees.” Author Bob Gardner so defines the advanced pilot; The Complete Advanced Pilot
is written for the many pilots who streamline their efforts by
preparing for the instrument rating and the commercial certificate
simultaneously.
An FAA Knowledge Exam is required for the instrument rating and the
commercial certificate. In using the FAA tests as the premise for
learning, here Bob Gardner applies practical information so readers are
not only prepared for the exams but also for the cockpit. The required
aeronautical knowledge is augmented by his specific tips and techniques,
checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal
experience. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA test questions, and a
comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as an approach
chart legend appendix. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge
Exam is not available in any other text!
With the author’s conversational yet concise explanations, readers will
quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and
have an operational understanding of flight they can take to the cockpit
as newly-minted commercial pilots operating under instrument flight
rules (IFR). Includes helpful internet resources for weather charts,
full color examples of those weather charts, updated review questions
and resource website links.
