Airline Pilot Questions & Answers

Hey Aaron,

First of all I want to welcome you aboard! You have a lot of great times coming up and I bet your excited :slight_smile:

For preparation, I recommend you start out with the following books:

  1. PHAK - The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (2016 edition)
  2. AFH - The Airplane Flying Handbook
  3. FAR/AIM 2017 (I recommend getting the iPad app instead of the paper copy.)
  4. ATP’s Cessna 172 training supplement (you will receive it when you finish the application process)

This is a thread from a few weeks back where I answered a similar question. You can find some pointers on what to read and where.

Other than that, I recommend that you start preparing for the Private Pilot written exam (StudyBuddy or ASA Prepware are recommended, and are available on the App Store). You have some time before you begin training so try to knock it out, you will thank yourself later.

Yarden
