Welcome to Rod Machado's Private Pilot Workbook. This book is intended to be used in conjunction with Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook. The questions are organized to follow the presentation of material, section for section, as found in the Handbook. Not only will this book prepare you for the Private Pilot Knowledge Exam, it will help you understand and absorb the knowledge necessary for you to fly safely.

Begin by reading a particular section from the Handbook. Then, open this Workbook and answer the questions relevant to the section you just studied. Compare your answers with those found in this book. If you answer a question incorrectly or would just like more information on the subject, you'll be directed to the precise page, column and paragraph in the Handbook where that information can be found. This form of programmed learning not only makes learning fun, it makes it more efficient, too.

Good news if you're an instructor teaching a Part 141 FAA approved ground school. Included is an FAA approved, Part 141 ground school syllabus. Using this syllabus in conjunction with Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook meets FAA requirements for an approved Part 141 ground school
