Rusty & Student Pilots / Re: Old books still useful for new students?
« on: January 04, 2021, 08:01:22 PM »I have reference materials from the late 80's (when I finally took lessons and learned to fly). The son of a friend is possibly interested in flying. Some of this material would still be useful for a new student, yes?
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?
