This is the fifth edition of a book pilots have been relying on to learn multi-engine flying for more than 20 years. Learn fundamentals of flying multi-engine airplanes and the aerodynamic laws that govern multi-engine flight, including energy management, under Bob Gardner's experienced and energetic tutoring. Included is information on both obtaining the multi-engine rating and checking out in a new twin. An integrated flight and ground syllabus details the program for the rating and provides a sample written test, typical of the one used for new-aircraft checkouts. Also contains a complete library of FAA source material on multi-engine flight subjects. The Complete Pilot Series is designed for use in flight schools, for home study, and as a base for student kits.
The essentials of a complete multi-engine training program with study questions, written exam, and syllabus. Covers the aerodynamic fundamentals that govern multi-engine flight.
Multi-engine aeroplanes have unique characteristics that will require a separate class rating. The information provided in this book emphasizes the noteworthy differences between flying a multi-engine and a single-engine aeroplane and will give you the theoretical knowledge needed for the EASA multi-engine class rating. Proficiency in handling flight with one engine inoperative is just one aspect of safe multi-engine flying. While modern, well-equipped multi-engine aeroplanes can exhibit impressive performance and system redundancy in many scenarios, these safety advantages are only achieved if you have undergone appropriate training and are proficient in handling such situations.
This is a complete guide to multi-engine flying, from the first time a pilot transitions into a two-engine airplane through advanced ratings. Single engine and multi-engine aircraft differ in many critical ways--"Multi-Engine Flying" covers every one in clear, readable detail.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.
Following a brief history of the market for private aircraft, this illustrated guide helps potential buyers assess their needs based on factors like budget, applications, planned travel distances, passenger capacity and speed. A range of models from names like Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft and more, are all arranged by price range.
Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability and feedback control.
This book covers the fundamentals of flying multi-engine aircraft and aerodynamic laws that govern multi-engine flight. It also includes information on obtaining a multi-engine rating as well as checking out in a new twin.
