A very good book for all to study for Sport Pilot. It is not just about GA planes but all about rules and procedures that all aircraft have to follow near any type of airport. Also much on navigation, radio procedures, stalls, spins, takeoff and landing procedures, airport traffic patterns, just good reading.
The best value in books for sure. Notebook size book with supplement book that has all the charts, graphs, and symbols that you will receive when you take the SP written test.
Has about 60 representative questions and the answers. Also explains why the other choices are incorrect. If you study this after reading the above two books, you will be ready for the SP written test.

Very easy to install and use. It selects 40 questions from the FAA's 270 bank of questions and you answer them all just like you will do on the actual test. Instant results and it explains why your answer was incorrect. Take the test as many times as you want.
Study guide section allows you study all the info or select the category that you are weak in. Weather, rules, Aircraft performance, etc.
Practice on this and you'll ace your actual test when the time comes.
