Your aircraft's Pilot Operating Handbook gives you only basic information on your aircraft...these best-selling guides give you the rest of the information.

Each guide is a comprehensive book on the fundamentals of flying the airplane. Subjects covered in detail include an overall description of the aircraft, limitations, handling characteristics, and loading/performance data. All the information is gleaned from flying experiences by experts in the industry, and is presented in an easy-to-read format. Pilots will find each guide in the series an invaluable companion to the aircraft's Flight Manual and an excellent source book for the aircraft's principal characteristics.
