From the Ground Up

This full-color illustrated aviation ground school textbook is the most popular aviation text in many countries throughout the world. Rewritten for U.S. operations and procedures, this book is often referred to as the "bible" for ground school flight training and is more comprehensive and informative than the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). From the Ground Up offers a wide range of advice, techniques and instruction on practically every aspect of flying, supported with beautiful color illustrations and photographs throughout. A sample Private Pilot FAA Knowledge Exam concludes the book. Pilots will find everything they need to know within its covers. Soft cover, full-color illustration, glossary, indexed, 352 pages.

"There is a smoothness and ease-of-reading that make this book a pleasure to read... everyone out there should read the engine section, which is excellent and covers timing, carburetors, magnetos, solid-state ignitions and even procedures for a backfire during starting... if you are going to buy a flight manual and only want to have one around the house, this is the one." Private Pilot Magazine

"[From the Ground Up] offers a wide range of advice and information, technique and instruction, on practically every aspect of flying in a single volume... The level of detail and its easy-going writing are way ahead of some of the textbooks we're used to, especially when it comes to radio navigation and aircraft technical explanations... I found From the Ground Up so useful that it's becoming part of my deskside library." Flyer Magazine
