Rod's Books Now Available for the iPad and iPhone
All of Rod Machado's books are now available as custom iPad and iPhone applications, with unique capabilities. These are far more than just ordinary e-books. With these apps, you will receive book updates any time Rod makes changes. No more having to purchase a new book every year to keep up with major changes in aviation.
Every word and illustration is there, for your reading and viewing pleasure. It’s all in vivid color, and easily portable. This is the optimal way to take Rod with you anywhere you go.
Each book has a detailed and easily referenced table of contents that provides direct access to any topic, and there is a comprehensive search feature that provides instant reference to specific words or phrases along with the page numbers, title and subchapter where those references are located. Bookmarks? You bet. You can bookmark any page for reference, too.
Read a full page at a time in portrait mode, or go to landscape mode for a larger view of a little less territory. Turn the page with at the flip of a finger, just as you do with a paper book, and enlarge any spot with the pinch gesture.
Purchasing any book app allows you to read it on both your iPad and iPhone (3GS not the 3G!). For those without an iPad (you know you want one, right?), you can read the book on the iPhone. This does require a bit of finger spreading, but for many pilots the iPhone is their go-to mobile device. Pocket or Pad, the choice is now yours. |

| COMPATIBLE WITH: iPhone 3GS (NOT the 3G!), iPhone 4, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), and iPad. Requires iOS 3.2 or later |

Best book I have ever read. It answers the questions that, if you were smart enough, you would ask. Only book I would ever read twice. If more people would read Rod’s book, the IFR system would run much more smoothly.
Dr. John Phillipp,
Rod Machado’s Instrument Pilot’s Survival Manual is graduate-level study best suited to pilots who’ve earned their instrument rating (or nearly so) and are about to go into info-shock when they realize how little they know. To date we’ve seen perhaps a half-dozen must-haves for the IFR pilot’s bookshelf and we recommend adding this to the list.
Paul Bertorelli,
Editor, IFR Magazine
Machado deals with aviation subjects with a different tack, examining why we do some of the dumb things we do and explaining how we can shortstop bad decisions. Like any good psychologist, he prefers to examine motivations and analyze people rather than dwell on accident reports as a subject matter.

In the last 5 days, I think I have learned more interesting techniques to enhance my pilot skills than I ever thought possible. Between Rod’s seminars at the WAI conference and reading Plane Talk (when I really should have been studying for finals... but English or Airplanes? Hmm...), I mean WOW!

I just finished reading Plane Talk, which I enjoyed very much, and rereading Rod Machado’s Instrument Pilot’s Survival Guide. The new weather material is great. This time through, I focused especially on the GPS section, since I am now flying more in GPS-equipped planes and working to get smart on GPS approaches.

In my nearly 6 years as a CFII, I finally think I have found the textbook I have been looking for to help those seeking an instrument rating and recurrent training (along with a darn good reference)... an instrument book that is comprehensive AND doesn’t put readers to sleep.

I enjoyed Plane Talk. I liked that it was not only about flying, but about life in general, and I will recommend it to some non flying people that I know, especially my kids and wife.

After four years of happy flying in both Europe and the States, I started to lose the spark or whatever it was and even thought about staying on the earth for good. I used to be so enthusiastic. So what was going on? I really honest-to-goodness couldn't put my finger on it. I couldn't ask anyone because I didn't even know the question... What I like about Plane Talk—one of the many things I like about it—is the way Rod turns the natural anxiety we all have into a plus, turning it away from self-doubt and towards something positive. Like knowing our (and the plane's) limitations and making sure we just do it right. I've barely been out of a plane since I read that book. Given the price of 100LL in Europe I should sue Rod. Keep up the good work! I really mean it.
S.C.
