Question

[munzino]

So I have the ARCO study guide for the ASTB and it's working out well. The only thing I need more information on is the aviation and nautical stuff. I just need something to get the basic infomation about planes, like real simple stuff, wing shape, parts, life and drag, that kind of stuff. I know I should probably know most of this already, but hey I'm eager to learn. So I was wondering if there's a book you would recommend, or something that I can get some additional info out of. I know there are tons of books, but I wanted to know if there was a particular one any of you have used... Thanks ahead of time.

You'll see this link referenced a lot for aviation/nautical information.

If that site no longer works, that is a real shame. That was crucial for so many of us when we studied for the ASTB.

Here is the google cache to the site, as long as you don't click on a link that references the columbia page and just scroll down to what you want to see you should be fine. Also has a bunch of still useful external links to aviation and nautical information

Yeah, that Columbia site was all I ate, breathed, and drank for three days.
I know that some of the PDFs are lying around the site, though.
For the Aviation/Nautical Information, just look for the FAA handbook and then the Know Your Boat tutorial at boatsafety.com or something like that.
