Bøger af WILLIAM K. KERSHNER

A classic for beginning aviators, this manual provides step-by-step ground and flight information for student pilots working toward Private or Sport Pilot certification.

Everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating-and a valuable aid to instructors. Also a great reference source for the instrument pilot needing a refresher, this book by William K. Kershner presents the basics of instrument flying in a manner easy to grasp in its straightforward and conversational writing style, with illustrations that aid understanding. Covered subjects include airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and communications, clearances, planning IFR flight, and carrying out the instrument flight itself from preflight, takeoff and departure, en route, through to the approach and landing phases. This book also helps prepare students for the knowledge and practical tests, with an opportunity to practice a scenario flight-including clearances. A comprehensive "Instrument Rating Syllabus" is provided for the instrument trainee and the CFII, making this textbook a valuable learning source for both to consult while completing the last steps toward obtaining the instrument rating.

The Basic Aerobatic Manual, Third Edition, is a complete reference for the beginning aerobatic student, with invaluable unusual attitude and spin recovery information for the more straight-and-level flyer. This book emphasizes techniques for the Cessna Aerobat models, but the described maneuvers easily translate to other aerobatics-certified airplanes.Starting with stalls, chandelles and lazy-8's, the student is guided through spins and the three fundamentals of basic aerobatics: the aileron roll, loop, and the snap roll. Once these basics are learned, the combination maneuvers (the cloverleaf, for example) are covered in-depth.This third edition includes a new chapter on loss of control in-flight (LOC-I), the leading cause of fatal general aviation accidents, to complement the chapter on unusual attitudes (upset) recovery for pilots especially focused on flight safety. Returning to controlled flight solely by reference to instruments is examined closely. The chapter on spins and spin recovery benefits from the knowledge gained in over 7,000 spins, each having from 3 to 25 turns, in the Cessna Aerobat.
