Title: A useful training manual
Review: I found Machado's book to be extremely useful in most areas. While its true that he sometimes burns too many calories focusing on humor, the explanations of HOW and WHY with regards to systems, procedures, and regulations are excellent. Trying to memorize data from Gleim's was putting me into a coma, but my retention of information is vastly improved using Machado's book. The book is written in a conversational tone that mirrors the kind of diaglogue you might have with your CFI. I also found the abundant diagrams to be very helpful; and the frequent anecdotes and short stories help reinforce points as well as make my own errors seem pretty minor. I'm quite glad I bought it.
