Do you know how that book compares to aerodynamics for naval aviators (think I got the title wrong)?
Unfortunately not.
Just remember, at the end of the day when explaining to the primary student, we need to keep it simple at first, then work from the known to the unknown. We need strong building blocks or else we will start finding cracks in the students knowledge. It is amazing how much of your learning transfers when working on your CFI, especially with the rote knowledge. You will feel so much better when you can finally understand and even correlate it.
Also! Please remember it is NOT an FAA publication, so back it up with the PHAK on your checkride. I wouldn't even consider having the book out during the ride.
Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
