Default CFI textbook recommendations?

The Jeppesen CFI manual is $71. The ASA is $25. That's practically an hour
of flying time, but I'm a little disappointed with the ASA 2007 FAR/AIM.
For commercial pilots, for example, the ASA book's suggested reading
includes Part 121 but doesn't actually include it.


Does anybody know if the Jepp book is worth ~3x the ASA book or would I be
paying for a publisher's name?


Any other recommendations?

If you can find a copy, I highly recommend Bill Kershner's "Flight
Instructor's Manual" third edition. Last cost I had on it was around 27
dollars.
I've used Kershner manuals throughout my tenure instructing and have
always found them to be accurate and fairly priced.

I'll second that. I began using the Kerschner manuals since about 1967
and still find info there that isn't in other books.
Cheers

Hi Rock;

I actually had to dig one out yesterday for a requested quote for a
source in another thread.
Still finding use for it after all these years :-)
