The fact is, this book is outdated and contains some gross inaccuracies.


Knowing full well this is going to open a bag of worms...

citations and explanations, please.


When I started taking lessons, a friend loaned me his copy of Stick
and Rudder. It almost drove me crazy, those drawings of how the
airport should look while you are in the pattern. It wasn't till long
afterward that I realized that old Wolfgang wanted me to enter on the
base leg.

May not be an inaccuracy, but sure as heck outdated, and very
misleading.

I don't think you are doing a student pilot any favors by giving him
this book. I suspect it's something for oldtimers to smile about ("Ah,
the good old days!").


all the best -- Dan Ford
