The Private Pilots Licence Course Principles Of Flight Aircraft General Knowledge Flight Performance And Planing

This text contains information on technical aspects of aeroplanes - both generally and type-specific - and covers such topics as the principles of flight, flight instruments, airworthiness, and performance.

"Volume 1 was written for students who wish to obtain their Private Pilot Licence. With this book you will acquire the knowledge to meet the syllabus requirements for the Aircraft Technical Knowledge and Principles of Flight topics. The first 11 chapters deal with technical matters and the remaining 8 chapters cover aerodynamic principles"--Taken from Waypoints NZ website.

Principles of flight is one of the fundamental topics a pilot must master to operate an aircraft safely. Pilots have so much control over the various forces acting on the aircraft, but flying an aircraft also comes with responsibility. To avoid flying an aircraft beyond its limits, pilots must respect the principles of flight. Turning too sharply, flying too slowly, or overloading an aircraft can all have dire consequences. This book follows closely the syllabi of Principles of Flight (aerodynamics) from a range of aviation authorities around the world, allowing the reader to obtain the required knowledge in Principles of Flight. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the wide range of components of Principles of Flight.

Basic plot information presented in comprehensive format for student pilots, private pilots, and refresher pilots. Terminology, navigation, airport operations, radio communications, emergency procedures, flight planning and more are featured. The first edition was a value-enhanced copycat publication of an outdated FAA manual. This fourth keeps this best-seeling product current with: New FAA rules, regs, procedures, and practices; Elmination of all references to former airspace structure obsolete since 1993; Quiz questions at end of each chapter for self-testing and evaluation; New chapter dealing with the process of learning to fly; the pleasures, benefits, advantages and opportunities.
