Flight lessons are expensive, and the ones that go best are usually the ones a student has already flown in their head. A student who knows what a slow flight entry looks like, which way the nose will want to go, and what the instructor will call out spends the hour flying instead of figuring out what’s happening.
ASA’s Pilot’s Manual is a multi-volume series for pilots in training, and the Flight School volume focuses on the flying side of that training. It’s a book to read before lessons and come back to afterward.

- Chair-fly it. Walk through the maneuver out loud at home.
- Fly it. Focus on feel and outside references in the airplane.
- Reread afterward. The text makes more sense once you’ve flown the maneuver.
Pilot tip: Keep your airplane’s POH open beside the book. The book explains the maneuver; the POH gives the exact speeds and configurations for the airplane you fly.
