Best Pilot Shops: - Transair - http://www.transair.co.uk/ Adams Direct - http://www.afeonline.com/shop/ Pilot Warehouse - http://shop.pilotwarehouse.co.uk/ Flightstore - http://www.flightstore.co.uk/ Airplan / AFE Online - http://www.afeonline.com/shop/ Pooleys - http://www.pooleys.com/ I use the Trevor Thom Air Pilots Manuals - very good, but I know there are some others out there that take a slightly different approach to teaching which you may or may not enjoy. I also use the Vortex Online Log Book to log my flight hours, should anything happen to my log book (heaven forbid!). Vortex Log - https://www.vortexlog.com/VortexLog/login/ Others will be along shortly to answer you questions. All the best and happy landings!      Report
