Take it to the next level!!!!!
By D. Price
You would think that after you got your license you would not have any problem finding stuff to do. Well, not so easy. This book covers everything from grass fields, prepping your family for flight in little aircraft, basic engine care, it is all here. This is a good book for the newly licensed

Great Book for the New Pilot
By Terry Sunday
This book answers very well the question, “Now that I’ve got my pilot’s license, what may I do with it?” The author shows that there may be so much more to being even a casual pilot than just shooting three touch-and-goes each 90 days to stay current and legal. Very well organized into bite-sized chapters, each of which covers one queer suggestion, the book was inspirational to this low-time pilot. Even if you only take vantage of a little fraction of the suggestions, and even if there are parts of it that you have no interest in, you ought to still get a lot out of this splendid book.
