Subtitled 'Airlife Pilot Handbook'.
The dream of every new private pilot is to buy an aircraft and be free from the restrictions of renting a plane from the local flying school or club. However, it can be a daunting task to actually achieve the dream. What kind of aircraft should I buy? How do I find a suitable machine? Should it be new or used? How much will it cost to operate? What are the maintenance regulations? What about insurance? Could I build my own plane? Maybe an antique? How do I find hangarage? Should I have partners to share the cost? What should I look for when inspecting an aircraft?
These questions and many more are answered in this new Airlife book which includes valuable Appendices and provides a blueprint for any aspiring aircraft owner. Owning and Operating Your Own Aircraft will supplement the much acclaimed Air Pilot's Manuals and provide an indispensable guide to all those who hope to buy a light aeroplane.
