Rod Machado's (NEW) Private/Commercial Pilot Handbook

Greetings:

All books, ebooks, audiobooks, and eLearning courses are updated when important changes occur and as soon as I can update the product. Any significant change will be shown below. 

I update all products from week-to-week, month-to-month and with each new book printing, as changes occur. Rest assured that you have the most current product on the market. Keep in mind that if you own any of my ebooks you can update that ebook for up to "one year" after the date of purchase by clicking the original download link (I can't resend eBook download links, so please don't lose them). Audiobook ".mp3" files found in your account window are always updated when significant changes occur. 

Sincerely,
Rod Machado
