Flight Maneuvers

A vital resource for pilots, instructors, and students, from the most trusted source of aeronautic information.

Here is an illustrated, step-by-step manual for executing flight maneuvers—from beginning to advanced—that are the foundation of proficient, safe flight. The author, an instructor and acrobatic pilot, covers the fundamental skills necessary to fly straight and level, as well as turns, climbs and descents, takeoffs and landings, and emergency procedures. An excellent practical manual for pilots who want to supplement their training and improve their flying skills to their highest level.

Known as the Red Maneuvers Book, this learning and teaching aid covers all manoeuvres for Private, Commercial, and Flight Instructor Certificates for low-wing aircraft such as Pipers and Mooneys, complying with current practical test standards and regulations. Topics covered include manoeuvring during slow flight, power-off stalls, lazy eights, spins, short-field approaches and landings, and steep turns and spirals. Maneuvers are shown in full-page spreads, so visual information is absorbed all at once.

The Federal Aviation Administration's Instrument Flying Handbook provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and controllers with the knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions. Illustrated with full-color graphics and photographs, topics covered include basic atmospheric science, the air traffic control system, spatial disorientation and optical illusions, flight support systems, and emergency responses. The book's two appendixes contain information on clearance shorthand and an instrument training lesson guide. Readers will also find a handy glossary and index. Since many questions on FAA exams are taken directly from the information presented in this text, the Instrument Flying Handbook is a great study guide for potential pilots looking for certification, and a perfect gift for any aircraft or aeronautical buff.
