I consider that condensation of the really-important as a pretty *good*
accomplishment, unless there are actual errors.


Well, what can I say?
I'm glad you apparently found it useful, but I found it to be almost a
complete waste of money.

Of course, I have to wonder why you asked my opinion, since you've
obviously already formed an opinion of your own. Do you earn a
commission on the book or something? g


No, I was just wondering if you knew of any specific errors, or had some
specific sections that you disagreed with, or that you felt needed a huge
improvement. (I guess you would suggest the Air Law section...???)

My opinion was formed based on its usefulness to me during my recent ground
school.

Virtually without any other assistance, and never even cracking the AIP, it
permitted me to learn enough to write and easily pass the PSTAR and the
flight-school's Private Pilot "sample" written. (I haven't yet done the TC
written, but based on the sample results, I am not worried about it). To
me, that meant that FTGU condensation of air law must have touched all the
important points.

The fact that the book may be dry reading does not diminish its value as a
"quick-reference" text for primary students.

Nor does the fact that it is not "the only book you want to read". *Of
course* you want to learn as much as possible from all sources, but if you
do only have ONE book while training in Canada, then this is the one that I
have found, so far...

What are the instructors at your FBO recommending???
