"If the Airline Transport Pilot certificate is the Ph.D. of aviation, the
Commercial and Instrument tickets represent the bachelorï¾’s and masterï¾’s
degrees."
With this statement Bob Gardner defines the advanced pilot, and this is his
textbook written for the many pilots who streamline their efforts by preparing
for the instrument rating and the commercial certificate simultaneously.
An FAA Knowledge Exam is required for the instrument rating and the
commercial certificate. Using these tests as the premise for learning, Bob
Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the
exams, but also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge
by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and
sound advice from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA
test questions, and a comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as
useful aviation website links. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge
Exam is not available in any other text!
With the authorï¾’s conversational yet concise writing style, readers will
quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an
operational understanding of flight they can take to the cockpit as newly-minted
commercial pilots operating under instrument flight rules (IFR).
Includes links to helpful resources on the internet for weather charts, full
color examples of those weather charts, and more.
