What about books?


I am reading FAA Handbook from front to back currently.


Any danger in doing that without an instructor present?

Nope not at all. But if you ever do actually learn to fly I'll bet you
have to read them all over again.


Hmm...someone should write an email to FAA warning them that they
should warn readers that the HoAK should not be read by any aspiring
pilot who has not yet been properly instructed of its contents by
human.

But then, if the instructor is to tell all to the student that is in
the book, then there is no point in writing the book.

Maybe it should be retitled...

"Refresher Handbook For Pilot's Who Already Learned This Stuff From A
Person. But Not Anyone Else.."
