Book Reviews of To Be an Airline Pilot

Book Review: A niche book for a niche reader
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is especialy helpful for the aspiring JAA commercial/airline pilot. It is not intented as casual reading for the aviation enthusiast.
The book covers the course of a commercial pilot student. I found it especially useful whilst studying for the JAA ATPL exams. Each subject is covered and includes tips and what to expect in each exam. Indeed, the 14 ATPL exams are no walk in the park and one often feels the need for an external reference to what the hell you are studying! I would say that this is the "core value" of the book- but on the other hand, I haven't done the CPL practical test yet...

Summary of To Be an Airline Pilot

If your dream is to be an airline pilot, or you would like to know what it takes, this book reflects the experiences, thoughts, and findings of a trainee pilot throughout the journey that took him into the right-hand seat of a jet airliner. The book covers everything that you need to consider before and during the training process, including where to train and how to raise funds. The flying course structure and ground school subjects are detailed, and many sample exam questions are included to give a flavor of what lies ahead. The book also looks behind the scenes at life on a training campus and considers all important practicalities before going on to look at how to find that dream job.
