This authoritative manual from the legendary flight instructor, William K. Kershner, edited by William C. Kershner, presents a wealth of practical information while encouraging student pilot decision making. The fundamentals of flying are clearly described in a methodical yet informal manner that a student can easily absorb. This manual includes detailed references to maneuvers and procedures, and is fully illustrated with the author’s own drawings. It's a must-have for all student pilots and flight instructors, providing a single reference for both flight and ground school. This manual covers all you need to know for your first flight, presolo, the post-solo maneuvers, cross-country and night flying. First published in 1960 and updated continuously since then, this Eleventh Edition ensures you will be prepared for the classroom, tarmac, and the cockpit. The Student Pilot’s Flight Manual is a gathering of material used in preflight and postflight briefings and in-flight instruction provided by one of the greatest flight instructors of our time. It also includes a synopsis of what to expect for your FAA Knowledge Exam and checkride. But this book is not intended to merely help readers “get past” the exam and checkride―it also has the essential information for use in the day-to-day process of flying airplanes. ## Images ![The Student Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Pilot Certificate (Kershner Flight Manual Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oUrBdD-PL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beats the Jeppesen and FAA's Airplane Flying Handbooks. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 2, 2023* Finally, I have found a book that is truly written for the student pilot. And I mean, for someone who doesn't have a degree in rocket science. Everything is explained in simple, easy to understand concepts.The one thing I don't like in this book is the explanation of the force called "lift". As with many other flight manuals, including the FAA's, this book states that lift can be explained by the Bernoulli's Theorem, which is totally wrong. I can easily explain (with facts and demonstrations) why Bernoulli's Theorem does NOT explain how lift is created, and in fact, it creates more confusion to a student than an explanation. (Also gives the student the wrong information in the process.)However, the debate over Bernoulli's Theorem is not the scope of this review. Despite that incorrect (IMO) explanation on lift, the book is worth having for every student pilot who is motivated to become the safest and most skilled pilot (s)he can be. I recommend it to every one of my students! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for Research *by on Reviewed in the United States January 20, 2023* Admittedly, I’m not a pilot. I just wanted a good reference book for the novel I’m writing with a pilot main character. This manual covers the absolute basics (which I needed) as well as the more complicated stuff. I feel I’ll be able to write more competently now! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readable Format and Quite Complete *by on Reviewed in the United States November 24, 2018* This manual requires the student to focus carefully on each bit of material as he/she progresses through the book. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the steps taken with a flight instructor and not to be used as stand-alone training in and of itself. Reading the relevant material prior to each dual instruction session is very helpful in progressing toward the private pilot rating. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Student Pilot's Flight Manual: From First Flight to Pilot Certificate (Kershner Flight Manual Series) - Airplane Flying Handbook FAA-H-8083-3C: Pilot Flight Training Study Guide (Color Print) - Private Pilot Blueprint --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/52753980-the-student-pilots-flight-manual-from-first-flight-to-pilot](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/52753980-the-student-pilots-flight-manual-from-first-flight-to-pilot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
