In clear, concise language, this flying reference coaches student pilots through all the private and commercial flight manoeuvres. Useful before and after lessons, students can better prepare for flight and review and consolidate what they have learned. Covered are all the tasks from the Federal Aviation Administration's Practical Test Standards for the Private and Commercial certificates, including climbs and descents, turns and spins, emergency operations, and various takeoffs and landings. Review questions round out each section.
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.
Covering all the essentials of turbine aircraft, this guide will prepare readers for a turbine aircraft interview, commuter ground school, or a new jet job.
