Hey Jay,

Sure enjoyed reading your report on R.A.S. Congrats (from a four month
PP-ASEL!)

I just finished reading "101 Things To Do After You Get Your Private
Pilot's License" by LeRoy Cook. It was a really good read, and covered
lots of fun stuff to do, and practical ways to do things. Helps me sort
out what the most valuable parts of my training were, and where I need
to grow, too.

PS. My version was the first edition (1985!) I checked out from the
Minneapolis Public Library. There's a brand new 2004 edition I'd love
to get my hands on! Otherwise I'll be off searching for an ARSA!

Good luck, and hope you have as much fun as I've had flying in the last
four months.

As a newly-minted PP-ASEL, I want to continue to absorb knowledge and do all
that I can to fly as safely as possible.

What books and or videos would you recommend that a new pilot put on his or
her short list?

Thanks in advance,

Jay Beckman

Hello Neil,

Truth be told, I bought the newest version of 101 right after celebrating
with the Mrs.

Getting "101 Things..." is what actually made me think to ask the question!

Congrats on getting your wings, too!

Hi,
Well I do not have "pilot training" books per say. But my wife sure
loves to kid me about all my books! Here are a few titles!
1. Spirits In The Sky- Martin Bowman
2. The War In The Air (WWII)-Gurney
3. Hi-Tech Planes- Wayne F. Greer
4. Modern Military Aircraft- Martin Bowman
5. ASA General Mechs Study Guide
6. ASA Airframes Study Guide
The rest of the bookcase is full of mostly history books, which a large
number are of "The War Between The States" variety. But it ranges from books
on Romans to WWI and WWII and of course my beloved copy of History Of The US
Marines - Jack Murphy. You sure can tell alot about someone if you just look
at their bookcase can't you?

Flight of Passage, by Rinker Buck. One of the best books I have ever
read, right up there with Young Men and Fire and A Moveable Feast.
