Old books still useful for new students?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Anthony:
I still have an old copy of "Stick and Rudder" I bought when I learned to fly in 1994.  I bought it at a used book store, so its much older than that, but it's still relevant for the most part.

Obviously the airspace designations have changed as well as the weather briefings/information and some avonics, but airplanes still fly the same and basic weather information is still the same, yes?

Lucifer:
Welcome BamaFlyer.  Hope to see more from you.

Rush:
Maybe books in general are going away? Are universities still making students buy textbooks? Or are they all just watching YouTube videos these days?

Ugh. Don’t get me started. After looking at two computer screens all day long, the last thing I want is to open up an iPad to read shit online. Give me a book or a flying magazine and get my eyes away from that computer light.
