Synopsis Flight Navigation for the Private Pilot by : Stephen Walmsley

A pilot can travel a considerable distance, across a range of different landscapes on a single flight; from rugged bush, oceans, mountainous terrain and deserts. No other mode of transport offers such freedom. But with this freedom comes responsibility. To arrive safely at a distant destination, pilots must understand the key components of flight navigation. Flying the wrong heading, underestimating the time and fuel for the flight can all have serious consequences. The main focus of this book is flying a cross-country flight under visual flight rules (VFR). This book follows closely the syllabi of Navigation and Flight Planning from a range of aviation authorities around the world. 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 flight navigation.

Synopsis Principles of Flight for the Private Pilot by : Stephen Walmsley

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.

Synopsis The Complete Private Pilot, Ebundle by : Bob Gardner

Trade Paperback + PDF eBook version: Trade paperback book comes with code to download the eBook from ASA's website. Taking and passing an FAA Knowledge Exam is required for earning the Private Pilot, Sport Pilot, and Recreational Pilot certificates. Using the FAA exam as the premise for learning, Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the tests, but also for the cockpit. He augments the required aeronautical knowledge by giving specific tips and techniques, checklists, mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. A full-color foldout example of a sectional chart is provided inside the back cover for use with the numerous interactive exercises throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA Knowledge Exam questions. A comprehensive glossary and index are included as well. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is not available in any other text! Included throughout the book are internet links for useful aviation websites, weather charts, flight planning, etc., with a section showing examples of online weather sources and more. Also included is information on "FITS" (FAA/Industry Training Standards), scenario-based training, single-pilot resource management, and learner-centered grading. This is a convenient, comprehensive source for this information—everything complete in one book! With Gardner's approachable yet concise writing style, readers are able to quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and gain an operational understanding of flight they can take straight to the cockpit. The Complete Private Pilot works as a companion textbook to ASA's Private Pilot Virtual Test Prep DVD Ground School. An integrated Flight/Ground Syllabus for both Part 141 and 61 programs is also available to accompany the textbook. Foreword by Richard Taylor.

Synopsis Private Pilot Maneuvers by : Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Staff

This Private Pilot Maneuvers Manual uses step-by-step procedure descriptions and over 100 full-color figures to help you visualize and understand each maneuver you perform in the airplane. Skill Enhancement Insets provide expanded instructional guidance, helpful hints, explanations of common errors, and rules of thumb that can help you perform each maneuver precisely the first time. To prepare for your private pilot checkride, you can refer to the associated FAA practical test standards presented with each maneuver description. In addition, exercises allow you to evaluate your understanding of the maneuvers. For easy reference, the maneuvers are numbered and grouped into categories based on similar operational characteristics. The spiral-bound design allows the manual to lay flat for ease of study and instruction, whether you are on the ground or in flight.
