Opis ze strony wydawcy:

Effective flight training in this advanced technological age calls for improved teaching methods. Sean Lane?s 21st Century Flight Training discusses core concepts such as flight phases, task prioritization, proficiency segments for performance maneuvers, as well as visual situational awareness ? all of which lead to improved training efficiency and intelligent aeronautical decision making. The book introduces new training models such as Integrated Sensory Flying (ISF): a concept that answers a long-awaited call for a visual flight instruction program similar to that of Basic Attitude Instruments (BAI). The new training models and teaching methods provide tools to help resolve the inherent conflict between technically advanced aircraft and an increasingly complex flight environment, and general aviation accident trends. 21st Century Flight Training teaches all the primary flight training maneuvers from the perspective of an examiner with countless checkride insights, guiding readers from initial flight instructor lessons to conducting flight reviews on their own. Flight instructor candidates are led through the development of a complete set of lesson plans, learning how to teach maneuvers, navigate oral exams and practical tests, and on to operating as twenty-first century flight instructors.

Dane od wydawcy:

In this manual covering basic aerobatics, Bill Kershner introduces maneuvers in order of difficulty, covering a variety of them in his clear, understandable, and humorous style. The Basic Aerobatic Manual is fully illustrated with the author's own drawings and contains a practical syllabus, a detailed bibliography and an index. Though the manual emphasizes airspeeds and techniques recommended for the Cessna Aerobat, the maneuvers described in the book may be performed in other airplanes certified for aerobatics. This manual explains and illustrates 26 aerobatic maneuvers in a six-lesson supplement to introductory aerobatics instruction. It covers the following subjects: Introduction to Aerobatic Flight Federal Aviation Regulations Physical Condition Acceleration Forces Preparatory Manuevers Stalls Steep Power Turns The Chandelle The Wingover The Lazy Eight Spins A General Review Mechanics of the Spin Spinning the Aerobat Basic Aerobatic Maneuvers The Three Fundamentals The Aileron Roll The Loop The Snap Roll Loop-Roll Combinations Loops followed by Aileron Rolls The Cloverleaf The Cuban Eight The Immelmann The Coordination Exercise Spins and Combinations More Variations and Combinations The Barrel Roll The Snap at the Top of a Loop The Reverse Cuban Eight Hesitation Rolls The Reverse Cloverleaf Recoveries from Unusual Attitudes Wake Turbulence Hoodwork Softcover, 8.5? x 11?, 103 pages.

The Instrument Flight Manual by Kershner

Książka w j. angielskim.

Dane od wydawcy:

Written for the pilot desiring to add an instrument rating, and for the instrument-rated pilot who needs a refresher. Divided into five sections, the book covers: airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and communication aids and their instruments, planning the instrument flight (weather systems and planning, charts and other printed aids, and planning the navigation), the instrument flight and the knowledge and practical tests (a scenario "trip" using the knowledge gained in the first three sections, including clearances, takeoff and departure, enroute, and approaches, and a syllabus for the instrument trainee and the CFII. Significant time is devoted to air traffic control as it is one of the most difficult aspects of flying IFR. Kershner's goal in this manual is to cover the subject in as much detail as possible while remaining uncomplicated. Airspeeds, expected clearances, and altitudes used are based on high-performance, retractable-gear, four-place, general aviation airplanes unless otherwise noted. Jet and other high-altitude (above 18,000’) IFR operations are left for coverage in other books. Numerous illustrations by the author aid in visualization of the concepts. This book covers everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating and will be a valuable aid to instructors. Current to the October 2004 Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards. Softcover, illustrated, 8.5” x 11”, 312 pages.

The Flight Instructor's Manual by Kershner

Książka w j. angielskim.

Dane od wydawcy:

The new and updated fourth edition of The Flight Instructor's Manual is an invaluable reference for those working on the flight instructor certificate and serves as an indispensable guide for the new instructor. The book is organized so each chapter can be used as a stand-alone reference for a particular phase of instruction. The information parallels the material presented in The Student Pilot's Flight Manual, The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual, The Basic Aerobatic Manual, and The Instrument Flight Manual, allowing The Flight Instructor's Manual to serve as a "how to instruct" guide rather than a comprehensive textbook on the basics. Major topics include: •Fundamentals of Flight Instruction •Presolo Instruction •First Solo to the Private Certificate •Advances VFR Instruction •Introduction to Aerobatic Instruction •Instrument Instruction Softcover, 8.5” x 11”, 503 pages. "Since I first began taking flying lessons, I have used William Kershner's wonderful Flight Manuals - from his "Student Pilot's Flight Manual" to his "Flight Instructor's Manual." I love the way Mr. Kershner makes fun and interesting reading of sometimes-dry subjects. His books are easy and fun to read and filled with all of the best information! I continue to recommend his books to anyone learning to fly, and have bought quite of few of them over the years to give to aspiring pilots. I cannot think of any other books on aviation that I would recommend more highly than William Kershner's Flight Manuals." —Patty Wagstaff, 2004 Inductee, National Aviation Hall of Fame.

The Student Pilots Manual

Książka w j. angielskim.

Dane od wydawcy:

This is the authoritative volume from Bill Kershner, the first in The Flight Manuals Series. Presents a wealth of practical information while encouraging decision making by students. The fundamentals of flying are clearly described in a step-by-step, informal manner that a student can easily understand. Includes detailed references to maneuvers and procedures, and is fully illustrated with the author's own drawings. This book is also intended as a reference for the Flight Review for private pilots with a single-engine, land airplane rating. Organized in the same order a Student Pilot will progress through the flight training curriculum, the book covers all you need to know and be able to do before the flight, presolo, the postsolo maneuvers, cross-country and night flying. It is a gathering of material used in preflight and postflight briefings and in-flight instruction provided by one of the greatest flight instructors of our time. It also includes a synopsis of what to expect for your FAA Knowledge Exam and checkride. This book is not intended to just help you "get past" the knowledge exam and checkride, but includes the information for use in the day-to-day process of learning to fly airplanes. A completely integrated 98-page syllabus provides the instructional format for flight instructors and student pilots using both The Student Pilot's Flight Manual and The Flight Instructor’s Manual. It serves as a guide for teaching ground and flight instruction as well as a checklist of student accomplishments from the first flight through the private pilot knowledge and practical tests. The Ninth Edition is fully revised and updated. Includes an appendix on engines and other systems along with seven color maps. Softcover, illustrated, 8” x 11”, 440 pages.

Dane od wydawcy:

The Commercial license preparation manual from Kershner's "The Flight Manuals Series." Bill Kershner believes that the average pilot could learn the basics of airplane performance very easily if the involved mathematics were bypassed. Therefore one of the purposes of this book is to bridge the gap between theory and practical application, covering the fundamentals of airplane Lift, Weight, Drag, and Thrust. If pilots know these basic principles of performance they will readily understand the effects of variable factors such as altitude and temperature on the operation of the aircraft. This manual's 21 chapters cover: •Airplane performance and stability for pilots •Checking out in advanced models and types •Emergencies and unusual situations •Advanced navigation •High-altitude Operations •Preparing for the commercial knowledge and practical tests Softcover, 8.5” x 11”, 400 pages.
