Cessna 172 (A Pilot's Guide Series)
Publisher: Aviation Supplies & Academics |
| ISBN: 1560272112 List Price: $14.95 Amazon Price: $10.17 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 1 Reviews: Summary: Out of Date This book covers the 172 model years 1977-1985, and talks about how production ended in 1985 with the model P. The 172 lives on, of course, and if you happen to be flying one that's less than 20 years old this book misses the mark. In trying to cover so many models, it is necessarily vague and non-committal on many items. The book also inexplicably uses a Piper weight and balance chart as an example instead of a Cessna one. If you're a pilot... or planning to become one... there's nothing here that you won't find in more clarity and detail in the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) for the model 172 you're planning to fly. I'd pass on this book. Summary: Use it as a companion to your Owner's Handbook It covers almost everything you may want to know if you neeed to fly a Cessna 172 and you have no previous experience with it. It is not a substitute for the POH but I am sure you will read this book from page page 1 to the end and you will be satisfied. Summary: Worthy companion to your POH This book is for the renter as well as owner. Written a style similar to the owners manual you get with your car rather than the somewhat dry text of the Pilots Operating Handbook. It is not a substitute for the POH! I did not give it a full 5 stars because it only covers the 1977 onward models. If you are flying anything earlier than a Model N or one of the more "exotic" versions of the Skyhawk, this book will be of limited value. Summary: |

Equal Or Greater Force: Developing The Proper Mindset In Order To Confront And Survive A Violent Criminal Or Terrorist Act
Publisher: Authorhouse |
|
| ISBN: 1420809687 List Price: $12.95 Amazon Price: This item is currently not available. |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Deftly guiding readers through a series of diverse personal survival scenarios Equal Or Greater Force: A Delta Force Veteran Teaches You How To Survive Crime, Terrorism, Natural Disasters, And Other Calamities by Kit Cessna is a complete and "user friendly" guide to surviving such commonly encountered threats as crime, terrorism, natural disasters, and man-made catastrophes. Deftly guiding readers through a series of diverse personal survival scenarios, Equal Or Greater Force offers expert commentary and advice as to which weapon to use for a particular confrontation, dealing with the emotional and legal aftermath of an attack or a natural disaster, how to prepare oneself for a mental toughness in any adverse situation, controlling fear, and so much more. A Delta Force veteran, Kit Cessna's Equal Or Greater Force is a "must-read" for anyone concerned with self-defence and survival in a hostile situation be it natural or human in origin. Summary: Myth Buster... Few books impress me any more. Fewer authors impress me, regardless where they say they have been or what they say they have done. Here is a real deal value. No BS. No hype. No fabrications. Just pragmatic experience well written in a prose that is easy to understand and I hope is down right inflammatory for those who say and market well what they say they know, but haven't a clue. Thank you Mr. Cessna Summary: The best book yet on personal defense reality. Kit Cessna, Delta Force veteran and one of the US's top defense professionals, lays out the real story of personal defense. Sacred cows are sacrificed as he tells you why the "bad guys" indeed are "bad" as well as why popular nonviolent defense techniques are almost guaranteed to help the criminals. This book is a "must" for Americans, including women, who live and work in a potentially dangerous world. International readers, most of whom have little or no self-defense rights, also will benefit. Mr. Cessna doesn't want you to be a victim and tells you how to think, evaluate and react. Summary: |

The Lovable One-Niner: A Complete History of the Cessna L-19 Birddog
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company (KY) |
| ISBN: 1563112361 List Price: $49.95 Amazon Price: $49.95 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: First written history of Birddog scores a direct hit! I can be forgiven for my enthusiasm over the publication of The Lovable One-Niner. I have long since been a fan of this remarkable little airplane. Anything that passed as a reference source for the history of this airplane would have been most welcome. What delighted me, however, was the meticulous nature of the contents. A writer could not attain this level of detail unless he loved his subject. Clearly Mr. Thompson did. With equal parts of this book given to both the technical and personal history of this airplane, I have been able to share it with non-pilot friends who enjoyed it from a purely historical perspective. I am very pleased with the results and have recommended it freely. Summary: |

Flying South: A Pilot's Inner Journey
Publisher: Ten Speed Press |
| ISBN: 1580082823 List Price: $32.50 Amazon Price: $21.45 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: Great book... This was a good, easy read. A little frustrating for this more experienced pilot, but for lesser-experienced pilots, and especially women pilots, you will really enjoy it. Keep in mind that this isn't just a normal hardcover book. It's printed on glossy 60-lb. paper and has dozens of incredible photos taken by her husband, renowned photographer Galen Rowell. Summary: Moving story, beautiful images There are a lot of things wrong with this book, as noted by other reviewers, including: - An inexperienced private pilot repeatedly in over her head - No great insights into the places or people she visits - A level of jealousy for her famous husband And yet, I found myself truly drawn in to the story, due to the combination of adventure, beautiful images, and the author's relentless desire to prove herself. Knowing how she met her fate added a level of poignancy for me. I coudn't put it down. Summary: Fascinating! This book is not only extremely entertaining but also a great collection of beautiful color photographs of different spots "South of the border...WAY South." The author bears her soul for the reader in such a manner that you will feel you're sitting right next to her in the cockpit of her single-engine Cessna as she flies herself (as well as her husband and brother) to the adventure of a lifetime. Some will say she was a bad pilot. Who are we to judge? She was a brave soul and I am glad she had the courage to share her experience with the rest of us "safe" pilots. Barbara's book is an inspiring story of self-discovery. One that pilots and non-pilots alike will enjoy. Summary: |

The Complete Guide to Cessna Aircraft (2nd Edition)
Publisher: Cartier House Publishers |
|
| ISBN: 0971713707 List Price: $15.95 Amazon Price: $10.37 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 3 Reviews: Summary: The not so complete guide to cessna This book has not been updated from previous printings. All the pictures are of poor to average quality and all in black and white. While he does include all the models he does not go into enough detail about them. Would like to see much more info about systems, years built, mods available, radio and nav packages, ect. His comparisons of model availability and current value were based on what was in Trade a Plane on the day he wrote the book. Not very professional. Bottom line, this book is not for the person shopping for a plane. It is for someone who just wants to thumb through a book about cessnas' for general info. Summary: Awesome Book! I bought this for my father-in-law who owns a Cessna. He couldn't put the book down-was really happy with it. Summary: |
