Rod Machado is a great source of information. My wife and I always try to attend his seminars at Oshkosh and we have his books. Whenever I talk to someone who asks about learning to fly, I always recommend Rod’s web site to obtain information, and training material.

At 7:30 a.m. this morning I took and passed my private pilot check ride. What a thrill! This is something I have wanted since I was 9 years old. I owe a part of my success to Rod. His Private Pilot Handbook was the most valuable piece of literature I acquired during my training. During my ground school, I would study the information in his book along with my other training manuals. Rod’s wonderful writing style and depth of knowledge made even the most confusing topics easy to understand. During my flight training, I was having an especially tough time with VOR navigation, but Rod’s explanation finally made it "click." Rod produced such a wonderful book.

I am a 15-(almost 16) year-old student pilot out of NY. I recently purchased Rod Machado’s Private Pilot Handbook and I just wanted to say how much better I understand airplane engines and electrical systems now, then I did when I took the test. Rod’s book is a great learning tool. I will recommend it to any pilot, at any level.

I recently turned 73, and passed my check ride (first time) for Private Pilot yesterday with flying colors. The last lesson I had prior to starting ground school was 57 years ago today. I am certainly indebted to my CFII, my excellent ground school instructor and, of course, to Rod Machado whose book "Private Pilot Handbook" sits dog-eared on my aviation reference shelf. Was it worth it? This is my crowning achievement!

Test scores increased 6% after we switched to Rod's books.

Students read little to none of our previous text. After changing to Machado's books, Students are now reading ahead of their assignment.

Brilliantly written and organized… elevates a thorough education to a fun experience.

Fantastic book. A must have for every pilot!

Full preparation for the new pilot, rather than a quick memorization of test questions ... great way to refresh for a flight review.

My students are losing sleep because they can't put it down!
