Unfortunately, I was not able to review it as much as I wanted to before my BFR today. From the cursory review I made, it was very helpful. Even helped me get through a tough question I had never been asked before. Most CFI's are not grueling on BFR's, so this guide helps you appear to be more than satisfactorily knowledgeable. If I had studied it as I planned, I would have probably known more than the CFI. A few reviewers stated it had too much information, as compared to the other pocket-type reference also available here. I don't see this, because the book is only about 8"x6"x3/8". I imagine it will stay in my flight bag. Lastly, I was not aware the sixth addition (the addition sold here) was published in 2010. The book is up-to-date, even including the revised terms for medicals. ConsMy only complaint is that the book does not have an index, and the reason I gave it 3 stars for ease of use. I think this book will be a nice as a quick reference in my flight bag versus carrying around a FAR/AIM. (Also, an index will be helpful for the CFI that lets you look...) Otherwise, the table of contents is fairly concise. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
