Paperback. The United States Naval Academy was founded in 1845 in Annapolis, Maryland, after experience showed that the policy of training naval officers solely through shipboard experience was ineffective. The development of aircraft in the early 20th century was a technological change that impacted the academy. The efforts of naval aviation advocates, led by Capt. Washington I. Chambers, resulted in the Navy acquiring its first aircraft in 1911 and basing them near the US Naval Academy where sufficient land and material resources were available to support flight operations. Later, under Supt. Adm. Louis W. Nulton, aviation entered the curriculum as an element of fundamental naval education, taking a place among major subjects such as seamanship and gunnery. Classroom instruction and indoctrination flights provided all midshipmen with a familiarization in aviation as an important element in their development as naval officers before circumstances forced a shift of training to other facilities by 1962. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"Fly the Wing" has been an indispensable comprehensive textbook on operating transport-category airplanes for more than 45 years. Pilots planning a career in aviation will find this book provides important insights not covered in other books. Written in an easy, conversational style, this useful manual progresses from ground school equipment and procedures to simulators and actual flight. Along the way, the author covers the physical, psychological, and technical preparation pilots need in order to acquire an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate while maintaining the highest standards of performance. "Fly the Wing" serves as a reference to prepare for the ATP FAA Knowledge Exam. Although not intended to replace training manuals, this book is by itself a course in advanced aviation. With clear explanations and in-depth coverage, it has been described as a “full step beyond the normal training handbook.” Pilots who want additional knowledge in the fields of modern flight deck automation, high-speed aerodynamics, high-altitude flying, speed control, takeoffs, and landings in heavy, high-performance aircraft will find it in this resource. This new fourth edition includes access to additional online resources, including a flight terms glossary, printable quick reference handbooks, and numerous supporting graphics.

From author's Preface - This is the first book written expressly for the power pilot who is going to transition to gliders. In the past, power pilots were asked to purchase text books that were written for the beginning pilot. These books were filled with information that the power pilot already knew. If a review of any subject is needed, a bibliography at the end of the book of other texts that you will find useful. (Description by http-mart)

Includes handling of tailwheel aircraft, spins, and beginners' aerobatic training maneuvers adapted for practice in Citabrias, Cessna Aerobats, home-builts, ex-military craft, factory-builts, and foreign imports.

Flight training for passengers.

Get ready to take flight as two certified flight instructors guide you through the pilot ratings as it is done in the real world, starting with Sport Pilot training, then Private Pilot, followed by the Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Air Transport Pilot. They cover the skills of flight, how to master Flight Simulator, and how to use the software as a learning tool towards your pilot’s license. More advanced topics demonstrate how Flight Simulator X can be used as a continuing learning tool and how to simulate real world emergencies.

Learning to fly the 737NG like a real pilot is a challenging and exciting adventure awaiting computer-pilots.

Flight Theory for Pilots is written for pilots by a pilot, this book allows you to expand your knowledge of flight theory and aerodynamics as applied to airplanes and helicopters. This is the principle aerodynamics book used in USAF courses. From the Preface: This book is written for the typical pilot who has no engineering background and no desire to become involved with mathematical solutions, but would still like to expand his knowledge of flight theory. From 21 years of teaching this subject to the US Air force, Army, and Navy, I would estimate that this would include 75% of students. This book does not attempt to transfer pilots into engineers. What it does try to explain are the basics of aerodynamics as they apply to flying an airplane. In some cases formulas are presented, but a real insight to the subject can be obtained even if they are completely ignored.

Fly toward pilot certification with these real-world scenario exercises Although PC-based flight simulations have been available for 30 years, many pilots, instructors, and flight schools don't understand how best to use these tools in real-world flight training and pilot proficiency programs. This invaluable reference bridges the gap between simulation tools and real-world situations by presenting hands-on, scenario-based exercises and training tips for the private pilot certificate and instrument rating. As the first of its kind based on FAA-Industry Training Standards (FITS), this book steers its focus on a scenario-based curriculum that emphasizes real-world situations. Experienced pilot and author Bruce Williams ultimately aims to engage the pilot, reinforce the "realistic" selling point of PC-based flight simulations, while also complementing the FAA-approved FITS syllabi. Serves as essential reading for pilots who want to make effective use of simulation in their training while expanding their skill level and enjoyment of flying Covers private pilot real-world scenarios and instrument rating scenarios Includes a guide to recommended websites and other resources Features helpful charts as well as a glossary You'll take off towards pilot certification with this invaluable book by your side.
