ASA The Student Pilot's Flight Manual

If you want to learn to fly from the best, there’s no better than Bill Kershner. The legendary pilot was inducted into the Flight Instructor Hall of Fame in 1998, having already earned the title Elder Statesmen of Aviation. Kershner passed away in 2007, but he continues to help countless student pilots earn their licenses through the wealth of books he left behind.

Kershner’s The Student Pilot’s Flight Manual is a ground school textbook, maneuvers manual, and syllabus all in one. It has everything you need to know to work toward a private pilot or sport pilot certification, with information to help you prepare for both the FAA Knowledge Exam and the checkride. Topics include preparing for your first flight, post-solo maneuvers, cross-country flying, night flying, and more.

First published in 1960, the book is in its 11th edition and completely up-to-date with current rules and regulations. It’s even been edited by Kershner’s son, accomplished instructor William C. Kershner.

Bill’s legacy lives on, and all his knowledge is available at your fingertips. Take advantage of it.
