Very informational

Great audiobook. Very informational and presents very good questions to study for. Easy to listen to on faster speeds too. Highly recommend.

Awful jokes and narration

Has great information, almost too much at times, But full of awful jokes and terrible narration that take away from it's value.

It was done in the way that was very easy to understand

It went over more information than I expected. This was truly an excellent training device. I will look forward to more of these in the future. 

Nice audiobook version

No kidding, the day I got the paperback, I wondered if there was an audiobook version. Sure enough, it just came out THAT day. Great timing. The narrator reads at a pace consistent with kindergarten story time, so you may want to speed the playback up a little. But her reading is vibrant, and helps keep you engaged. Much better than many of the boring, monotone narrations I’ve heard. Overall, I enjoyed this.

Lots of information presented in a pleasant way

This audiobook covered a lot of information that was neatly broken down into appropriate sections. The organization as well as the narrator’s pleasant tone made it easy to follow along. The narrator spoke in a way that sometimes made me forget that I was listening to a review guide, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it!

Mixed review

Content is excellent. But the choice of narrator and exhausting jokes made it very difficult to enjoy.

Covers everything for your checkride

Great content, I recommend to listen several times before your check ride. It’s the most comprehensive audiobook. I would also recommend starting once you start you PPL

Perfect pass time study technique

I only had one week from my endorsement date to my private pilot check ride and so I had to make the most of my available studying time. I loved having this book as a study help during every other thing I had to do this week. An audible study guide feels like a cheat code.

The Chance to learn and review for a pilots license

First of all the narrator is very clear and her flow is very good. The best part about this review that after learning she gives questions but pauses to allow you to think about how you should answer and then answers. Very good review material.

Concise and thorough

Narrator did an excellent job of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces. The tone and demeanor of the narrator was upbeat and optimistic.
