ASA‘s newest addition to The Pilot’s Manual Series, “The Pilot’s Manual: Access to Flight,” combines the Private Pilot and Instrument Rating curriculums into a single flight training program.

Fuel costs and time constraints continue to rise, mandating an efficient curriculum for pilots in training. The integration of Private and Instrument curriculums in this course is the most efficient and effective way to prepare for safe flight, company officials said.
