Description
Flight Training Manual (TP 1102) — Transport Canada’s Official Exercise Text
When your flight instructor briefs “Exercise 16 – Take-off” or “Exercise 18 – Approach and Landing,” this is the book those exercise numbers come from. The Flight Training Manual is Transport Canada’s official text for practical flight training in Canada: every air exercise in the PPL syllabus — attitudes and movements, climbing, descending, turns, slow flight, stalls, spins, circuits, forced landings, and the rest — explained the way your instructor is expected to teach it, with the aerodynamics underneath each manoeuvre.
That mapping is exactly why it pays for itself. Dual instruction costs the same whether you arrive knowing what the exercise is or hear it for the first time in the briefing room. Students who read the corresponding exercise the night before each flight spend their aircraft time flying the manoeuvre instead of having it explained at engine-running prices. Over a 45-hour licence, that habit is worth far more than the cover price.
Who uses this book
Student pilots working toward the RPP or PPL, licensed pilots knocking the rust off before a checkout or flight review, and — critically — flight instructor candidates: the Flight Training Manual is one half of the pairing every instructor works from, alongside Transport Canada’s Flight Instructor Guide, when building preparatory ground instruction. If you’re headed for an instructor rating, this book stops being study material and becomes a tool of the trade.
How it fits with the rest of your training
The Flight Training Manual covers what happens in the aircraft. The knowledge for the written exam lives in our PPL Ground School and From the Ground Up. For a modern, expanded treatment of the same flight exercises with current techniques and photographs, many students and instructors add Flight Training: A Practical Guide by SharpeAero alongside it — the TC manual is the standard; the SharpeAero text is the deep dive.
Edition and format
This is the current 4th edition — 210 pages, softcover, 8½” × 11″, with black-and-white and colour illustrations. Stocked in Canada, priced in CAD, flat-rate shipping across the country, and dispatched fast, because your next lesson isn’t going to reschedule itself around a courier.

This quickly became my go-to companion from preflight briefings to chair flying at home. The explanations use plain language without glossing over the why behind each maneuver, and the flow from fundamentals to circuits and emergency procedures mirrors what I learn in the cockpit. It has lived in my flight bag, and the way topics are organized makes it easy to review a section before a lesson or debrief afterward.
The chapters on slow flight, stalls, and takeoffs and landings finally clicked thanks to the step-by-step techniques and clear diagrams. Weather and navigation are laid out logically, and the emphasis on safety and checklist discipline helped me build better habits. I also found the radio procedures guidance useful for sounding more confident in the circuit and when talking to ATC, and it pairs nicely with sim practice for reinforcing flows.
It is not a glossy or flashy book, and a couple of areas could use an extra illustration or two. The index could also be more detailed for quick lookups. Those are minor quibbles given the value here. For the price, you get a comprehensive, no-nonsense resource that stands up well to highlighters and sticky tabs and feels perfectly aligned with Canadian training expectations. Strongly recommended for anyone working toward a PPL or brushing up before a flight review.

I bought this book to learn more about avionics to help me with my SIM flying experience. I must say that for the price of the book I was amazed with how much I learned and how easy it was to learn. Because of this book I am a better sim flight pilot.
