The only way to consistently meet the demand for better, smarter and safer pilots, is to ask more of yourself as an instructor, and demand more of every training aid that you use. I use Machado's Private Pilot Handbook and Workbook and I get credit for a lot of work that is done by these books.

I passed my written prepared by using Rod Machado’s Private Pilot Handbook. I also purchased Rod’s Workbook although it was only available at my flight school last week. I plan to re-read the Handbook using the Workbook this time, while I finish my cross-countries. I’m sure I'll be ready for the oral. Rod IS th' man!

Quite a few years back I attended a ground school where they utilized a text that was so dull and confusing that I quickly put aside any ideas of going aloft. Rod Machado’s Private Pilot Handbook has been quite the opposite, I have enjoyed it to the point that I am more than halfway through before I have even taken an introductory flight (that happens on Tuesday). I am not even sure if I will actually enjoy the experience of a small plane. Even so, even if I decide to stay on terra firma, I will likely complete Rod’s text as an enjoyable intellectual exercise just to see how I do on the written exam. I just picked up a copy of the workbook and it too is very helpful. Great books. I am really enjoying them.
