Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-18 00:00:00 Cheryl Willis If it is NOT for this error, I probably rate it 5 stars. In Chapter 12: question 46: "Will the successful completion of this initial flight instructor practical exam renew your flight review?" This book answers "No" -- however, if you check 14 CFR part 61.56(d)(2), it is clearly that (passing) the practical test for issuance of a flight instructor certificate, serves as flight review. And this regulation has been there years (at least since 2016 as far as I can check back) -- apparently, Author did NOT follow the (not so) recent regulations. I suspect that there are other errors in this book due to author's knowledge not up-to-date.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-26 00:00:00 Jenny Juisiak If you ever wanted a textbook example of Murphy's Law in full effect this book is it! The sheer magnitude of combined miscalculations, misfortune and errors are astonishing. It led to the ditching of ALM Flight 980 into the Caribbean sea, just 35 miles short of its diverted destination. The only commercial airline to date to crash land in open waters. Author Emilio Corsetti painstakingly details not only the facts leading up to the mishap, but also paints us a picture of aviation life in the early 70's as well as anecdotal snippets of American history during that time. Fred Filbrich did an excellent job narrating this true story which clocks in at just under 8 hours. His voice works perfectly for this genre and I found his reading entertaining and engaging.
