Negative Positive
Title: Purchasing and Evaluating Airplanes
Review: While the book is interesting, ..... I have known many private pilots who have purchased small aircraft in much the same way they purchase used car, and never had any problems. Mr. Jacobson seems intent on creating a "buyer beware paranoia" for private plane purchasers by telling many "good deals gone bad" and "horror stories" about consumers buying their own planes without a professional appraisal and/or inspection. It almost seems this book is an advertisement for the airplane appraisers and inspectors more than anything. In summary, while this book has some interesting points, the author's perspective must not be forgotten, as he is in the business of making money off prospective buyers who have worries or concerns about their plane purchase.
Is the review positive or negative?
