From The Ground Up (FTGU)
In the time given in class I chose to read From The Ground Up (FTGU). The book is basically a manual on how to fly a plane and get your license. It covers all aspects of general aviation flying, from the aircraft itself, to engines, airports/aerodromes, Rules, Weather, Navigation and Communication(s). I find the “Lessons” very easy to understand! I love the fact that the book itself costs very little compared to ground school, (however if you where to go for a license I believe you should take ground school) and also that it was designed and produced right here in Medicine Hat. I liked this book because I am looking forward to getting my license very shortly, and it has helped me understand basic weather and airmanship (right of ways, what certain lights mean, different cloud types etc.). I would recommend it to others, but only if they one day do want something to do in the aviation industry (even if they don’t want to be a pilot). I believe that it would be a hard read if you had no interest in the field, or hobby.
