I've watched a few videos with him and of course his narration on Flight Simulator. If that translated well into the books, I think they'd be good, or at least easy to read and re-read.
Hello, first - thank you for all the great info on this forum, I'm more of a reader than a poster but I'm struggling finding a book.
I haven't started my training but have taken two discovery flights over the past year and rode along with a student for a couple hours. I'm pretty familiar with...

I know it may seem odd to be looking at this with 1 hour of flight experience but hey... I need to know I can afford it first. :)
Is there a nice resource explaining the aircraft rental process for someone with a private pilot certificate? (For personal use of the plane) Some of the topics / terms are confusing for newbies just estimating costs down the road.
