Study Material for Future Pilot
Hello everyone,
I will be starting my PPL training in a couple months. I've flown a few times and love flying with a passion. My goal is to become an airline pilot.
I was wondering what the best study book was out there that I can purchase at a book store. In regards to the written exams. ie:PPL,instrument, CPL
Was thinking it would benefit me to start studying.
Thank you much appreciated

Alittle bit about myself. Im 26 years old living in souther California 15 miles west of Los Angeles. So i live smack down the middle of Brackett Field, El Monte airport, and Fullerton Municipal. I have an associates degree in business. Ive always wanted to fly since i was a kid but never really thought it was a possibility for me until recently. Ive saved up a considerable amount of money from my previous job and am willing to put it all in on flight training. Im not trying to do this fast or slow, just the right way. I havent chosen a particular flight school yet still deciding.
My ultimate goal is to work at LAX doing long haul.

Gleim for PPL, Sheppard Air for everything after. Use that only for the written exam. For the oral exam, the books that helped me most were the Instrument Procedures Handbook, Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, and the P.H.A.K. Occasionally, the Airplane Flying Handbook was useful as well.

I too am looking for a PPL ground school. I'm looking to give it as a gift this christmas to my son and help him prep (and take the test) before the spring term starts in mid December. I see the Gleim study material suggested in an earlier post, anyone else have an opinion. FWIW, I intend to help him prepare, backing up the study material, but expecting him to use online videos primarily along with the supplied books and other material. If all goes well, I may be his CFI in the summer.

I know Jepp used to make a pretty decent PPL kit (book, workbook, E6B, etc).
For written prep, you just want a study book with all the questions from the bank. I would get about 2/3 of the way through, take some time out for written cramming, knock that out, and then go back to training and checkride prep.
You don't want to the student mixing up written prep with checkride prep... those are not quite the same thing.
