Hey Paul,
When I developed a ground school for the students here, I used Gleim and
Kings material to present each subject covered on the written test, then
cross referenced it with additional reading assignments from Peter Dogan's
book. When I study for the knowledge tests for myself, I use Dauntless
Software's software at www.faatest.com. Do not fail to tap the web, Gene
Whitt has covered just about every topic in one way or another.
www.whittsflying.com and Avweb has some very good articles on individual
subjects also. I combined everything I could find into power point
presentations and burned each lesson to a CD for each student so they could
take them home and study not only what we covered in class, but also access
more material on the CD if they wanted additional viewpoints. The trick is
for you to look at several different sources and choose the one that you
LEARN the best from. It may not be the one with the fanciest cover or the
one that goes overboard presenting too much information. I personally found
Jeppesen's multi-engine textbook extreme overkill, while Bob Gardner's book
presented the right amount of pertinent real world information in a similar
manner as Peter Dogan does with the Instrument Manual.

Good flights,
Jim Burns
