As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

Because the basics are largely unchanging, the book therefore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself.
