Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot


I recently order "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot 6th Edition" by Richie Lengel.
This book is very useful and detailed as stated on the cover of the book. There is great pilot humor within and many things put into a language that is easier to understand; unlike reading straight out of the FAR/AIM which needless to say is a cruel joke.
I found a major flaw in this book, maybe I was the lucky one who found the binding on this book is horrible. I had it in my possession for 3 days and the book split in half and is already starting to pull away from the pages. This is obviously not a hard cover book, which keeps cost low, about $55.00. The bad binding is the only flaw that I have found in this book to date.
On a good note a have taken this book up to the local flight school and the cheif flight instructor is thinking about making this the new bible for the school. Which made me feel better about buying the book since I was sceptical.
For people that wish to know more about flying/piloting I would recommend this book. It has a wealth of information from Single Engine Pilots to Turbine Pilots, Severe Clear Pilots to the IFR Pilot, Private Pilots to ATP's.
