Sub-titled 'Putting the fun and skill into flying'. At last there is a book for every pilot who has obtained their Private Pilot's Licence and then thought What now? Written in a friendly and accessible style by an established aviation author and experienced pilot, this book fulfils the need for a book to take pilots beyond their basic training and into the 'real world' of flying.
There are many textbooks about learning to fly and the prospective pilot is never short of advice and information from all quarters. And yet, once qualified, the holder of a Private Pilot's Licence (PPL) is largely on his or her own, with little guidance about how to get the best out of their flying and maintain and develop their flying skills.
Beyond the PPL is filled with practical advice and constructive suggestions for enjoyable, safe flying. It describes in detail many of the challenges awaiting a new pilot such as radio navigation, farm strips, dealing with ATC etc. It also deals honestly with the many pleasures and pitfalls of flying for fun including aircraft ownership, groups, aircraft hire and sharing flights with other pilots. A must for every qualified or prospective pilot, this book will become the standard guide to life and flight after flying school.
