This is the FAA's primary pilot resource for instrument flight rules (IFR) covering everything pertinent to operating an aircraft in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or without reference to outside visuals, relying solely on the information gleaned from the cockpit. Readers will find chapters on the national airspace system, the air traffic control system, human factors, aerodynamics, flight instruments, flight maneuvers for IFR operations, navigation, emergency operations, as well as helicopter operations and more. The material in this manual applies to both conventional "steam-gauge" analog instrumentation and the "glass cockpit" electronic flight displays found in advanced aircraft. Information is well organized into separate coverage of the traditional "6-pack" and discussions of pictorial "tape" displays. Advanced systems are covered, including flight management systems, the primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD), synthetic vision, and traffic advisory systems. The book also features a synopsis of instrument clearance shorthand, as well as an instrument training lesson guide. The Instrument Flying Handbook is designed for use by flight instructors, pilots preparing for the Instrument Rating FAA Knowledge and Practical Exams, and instrument-rated pilots looking for a refresher or preparing for an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC). Illustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs; comprehensive glossary and index.

Behandelt alle wichtigen Themen für die IFR-Ausbildung.

Intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der Arbeitsbelastungsproblematik in der Privatfliegerei.

Flight Instructor’s Manual ist ein unschätzbares Nachschlagewerk für potentielle FluglehrerInnen und dient als unentbehrliches Handbuch sowohl für neue als auch für erfahrene FluglehrerInnen (CFI). Es ist so organisiert, dass jedes Kapitel als eigenständiges Referenzwerk für eine bestimmte Unterrichtsphase verwendet werden kann, so dass es als Handbuch für das Unterrichten zu folgenden Themen dienen kann: Grundlagen der Fluglehre (FOI), Pre-Solo-Unterricht, erster Solo-Flug bis zum Privatpilotenschein, weiterführende VFR-Ausbildung, Einführung in die Kunstflugausbildung und Schulung im Instrumentenflug. Das Buch enthält auch eine ausführliche Einführung ins Trudeln, Material über mehrmotorige Flugzeuge, die Ausbildung internationaler Studierender, den Theorieunterricht und die Vorbereitung von Tests. Mit Unterrichtstipps zu:    Grundlagen der Flugausbildung (FOI) Pre-Solo  Erster Alleinflug bis zum Erlangen der Alleinflugreife  Komplexe einmotorige Flugzeuge  Kleine zweimotorige Flugzeuge  Trudeln  Kunstflug  Instrumente    Mit mehr als sechs Jahrzehnten Erfahrung als verantwortlicher Pilot in mehr als 100 Flugzeugtypen und -modellen wurde Bill Kershner im Jahre 1992 zum FAA/General Aviation Fluglehrer des Jahres und 1997 zum Elder Statesman of Aviation ernannt. Im Jahr 1998 wurde er in die Flight Instructor Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Sein Sohn, William C. Kershner, wurde von seinem Vater “solo geschickt” und ist im Besitz von Fluglehrer- und Verkehrspilotenlizenzen. In seinen mehr als 15.000 Flugstunden flog er 22 Flugzeugtypen, von der Cessna 150 bis zur Boeing 777.   

Leighton Collins' aviation classic provides expert, flight-tested techniques pilots need to takeoff and land safely, skillfully, every time.

Das ist der spaßige Teil: Starten, Landen und das Flugzeug mit Präzision und Grazie manövrieren. Flugmanöver sind herausfordernd, lohnend und unerlässlich für sicheres Fliegen... sie sind das Rückgrat der praktischen Prüfung oder Checkrides mit den PrüferInnen. Bevor Sie die abschließende Prüfung zum Erwerb der Pilotenlizenz bestehen können, müssen Sie Ihre Fähigkeiten in diesen Bereichen unter Beweis stellen. Flight Maneuvers Virtual Test Prep deckt jedes der Manöver der FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) für die PPL, SPL, CPL und CFI Lizensierung ab, unterstützt durch hochauflösende Videoaufnahmen aus der Luft, 3D- und animierte Grafiken, Special Effects, erfahrene FluglehrerInnen und PilotInnen mit Tipps aus der Praxis vom Rollfeld, Flughafen und Cockpit für konzentriertes und aufregendes Lernen. Jede Lektion definiert die Aufgabe, die Handlung oder das Manöver mit einem vorgegebenen Ziel; jede Lektion wird in der Luft oder gegebenenfalls am Boden mit einer schrittweisen Analyse demonstriert. Der Kurs folgt den von der FAA empfohlenen Techniken und fasst die FAA-Abschlussstandards für jedes Manöver zusammen. Flight Maneuvers Virtual Test Prep ist ein umfassendes Lernprogramm für die Flugausbildung, welches das Lernen an sich aus dem Cockpit nimmt, so dass Sie sich auf Ihre Übungen konzentrieren können, wenn Sie in den Pilotensitz steigen.

Traditionally known as the "blue maneuvers book," this handbook complies with current practical test standards and regulations.

The Commercial license preparation manual from Kershner's "The Flight Manuals Series." Updated and edited by his son William C. Kershner. The Advanced Pilot’s Flight Manual has long been a standard reference for pilots transitioning to advanced models and types and preparing for the Commercial Pilot knowledge and flight tests. This book bridges the gap between theory and practical application, covering the fundamentals of airplane aerodynamics and aircraft performance. Rules of thumb are used throughout as a means of presenting a clearer picture of the recommended performance parameters, and increasing understanding of the variable factors that affect aircraft operations such as altitude and temperature. Knowledge of these thumb rules will enable pilots to maximize performance when operating faster aircraft and at higher altitudes. Chapters are dedicated to: 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

Traditionally known as the "red maneuvers book," this handbook complies with current FAA test standards and regulations.

"How-to" guide for what you should be doing in the cockpit during each phase of flight! Written by an experienced instructor and pilot examiner, Cockpit Procedures provides a solid understanding of the underlying principles for, and detailed descriptions of the checklists and routines used in many flight schools. Readers will find it contains a practical definition of airmanship, and covers what good habits to develop, effective workload management, and even what you should have in your flight bag. Cockpit Procedures is about cockpit actions and thinking, giving readers the rationale behind common procedures that are standard practice in the training environment and in the airlines. Both airplanes and helicopters are covered, delivering the essential aspects of effective training — technical knowledge, practical application and context learning. Cockpit Procedures targets the pilot just beginning his/her career, yet many of the philosophies and practical techniques taught here are so fundamental and powerful they will carry a pilot right through to retirement. While encouraging structure and discipline regarding procedures, the author does not merely check off lists of dry facts — Cockpit Procedures is also fun to read and Chris Burger keeps his readers focused with lively description and his knack for getting down to essentials in such a way that they stay with you. Chris R. Burger is an instructor and pilot examiner, flies both airplanes and helicopters, was previously an Air Traffic Controller, and runs a flying school in South Africa. As a flight instructor whose academic background includes aviation psychology expertise, Chris works to promote a culture of safety and teach pilots how to stay out of trouble in the skies — a task well-served by more than 2,500 hours of instructor experience in over 80 different aircraft models. Includes illustrations, glossary, and helpful appendices. Softcover, 7-1/4" x 9", 144 pages.
