Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook (3rd Edition) Update Page
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

_____________________________________________
Significant Change: Issued on 11-28-2019:
1. The FAA has eliminated the Radar Summary Chart from its list of required weather charts you need to study. I will replace all the radar summary chart information with NEXRAD information, which is already in the Private Pilot Handbook.
2. The FAA has also done away with the expected-change category of "BECMG" or "becoming" in the Terminal Aerodrome Forecast. Therefore, all TAFs will now show only FM, TEMPO and PROB30 but not BECMG.
3. The four panel Low Level Significant Weather Pro Chart is replaced by the two panel (12 and 24 hour) prog chart as shown below.
4. Chapter 7, Page G25, Figure 44B. The emphasis is placed on the word "rotates" here.
5. Page Q4, Chapter 17. Four types of Hypoxia are added to the discussion.
