520    The book tells the story of the author's unexpected 
       journey learning to fly an airplane. It describes, in 
       detail, the body of knowledge - aerodynamics, instruments,
       navigation, weather, flight planning, regulations, etc. - 
       as well as the practical skills that beginning pilots must
       master to become pilots. It traces the main challenges, 
       setbacks, dangers, and achievements the author experienced
       in his year-long path to become a pilot. The book is aimed
       both at people who are potentially interested in learning 
       to fly and at readers who are simply curious to better 
       understand and appreciate something they already do: fly.-
