Customer Reviews
Excellent reference!
I've had the paper PHAK for many years, as well as other electronic versions (... you know who they are ...), yet this version is the most seamless and easy to navigate. It's a pleasure to add this ebook to my ever expanding aeronautical library.
I doubt anyone will be dissatisfied.
Is this really from the FAA?
I know the original publication is from the FAA, but why is this eBook being sold by a Chinese guy instead of the FAA? I hope we are not getting ourselves in trouble with copyrighted materials.
Awesome books!!
These are great teaching aide and useful for students that like technology!
