    I've had the paper PHAK for many years, as well as other electronic versions (... you know who they are ...), yet this version is the most seamless and easy to navigate. It's a pleasure to add this ebook to my ever expanding aeronautical library. I doubt anyone will be dissatisfied.

    This is amazing! The PHAK is already a great publication, but the PDF can be cumbersome. This iBook version is fantastic! The notes and study card features will be great for studying.
