B. H. Van Dyk said Great book, easy to read. Great book, easy to read. Makes navigation looks easy. Another advantage is that it is cheap.. Is not that is a bad book. But its explanations are very complicated and Is not that is a bad book. But its explanations are very complicated and is not explained that in deep as you would like to go in order to understand more. Not recomended for specialized studies, but for consult If you are studing for pilot, not recomended for you, very very technical. ITs kind of engineer type of book(And im an engineer, i know what im talking about). Five Stars Plane CB This book is interesting. Thank you for the fast service.
