Aviation


Aviation has been a interest of mine for as long as I can remember.  I have fond memories of the years flying radio controlled airplanes with my dad or trying to get old versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator working on severely under-powered PCs.  However, none of those compared to the two short moments I experienced real flight with a yoke or stick in my hand.  Although I was just a young teenager at the time, actually controlling an airplane and feeling it respond beneath me was something that I have never forgotten (thanks for that, Mike).

Another Handbook

Not as fast of a read as the Airplane Flying Handbook.  There is some overlap in the content, but this book goes into much more detail and hits the main topics needed in order to take the written exam.

It is also downloadable from the FAA's website.

Stumbled across this at Barnes and Noble

Some reading while I'm on the mend.  This book is more about the physics and mechanical aspects of flight.  It does have some procedural stuff, but it is more of a fun read than some of the other books.

It can be downloaded for free at the FAA website.
