Flying internationally can be a daunting task. This book presents what the FAA, ICAO, EASA, and others have to say on a subject and then breaks that down and explains it in an understandable way that is truly applicable to what you as the pilot need to know.The manual is organized first by the main pillars of international flight operations: negotiation, navigation, communications, surveillance, and abnormal procedures. It then presents a tutorial that takes you through the early decision-making processes, an oceanic crossing, and a flight around the world. Finally, it presents a 40-chapter appendix with everything you need to know that wasn't already covered. Topics as basic as how to plot and as esoteric as true course ten-degree tables are all part of the manual.Whether you are new to international operations or have flown internationally your whole career you will find this book to be the most complete resource available today.

After a year at an Air Force leadership school Eddie returns to the cockpit at the 89th Military Airlift Wing to fly brand new Gulfstream IIIs. Eddie fully embraces a new philosophy of flight, based on knowing everything you can and maintaining a very high level of proficiency. Along the way he discovers the dangers of thinking you know it all by falling for it, hook, line, and sinker. But he soon discovers this way of thinking doesn't agree with his ideas of humility and the need to always learn. In the end he becomes a better pilot (stick and rudder and instrument flying) and a better aviator (judgement). Each chapter relates a series of flight experiences and is followed by a lesson that either reinforces the experiences or provides a counter-point to those experiences.

Flight Lessons is a collection of hundreds of professional pilot procedures and techniques. Volume One, Basic Flight, includes the first 30 such lessons as they were learned by Eddie, the author's alter ego, in story form. Each chapter concludes with the lesson on graph paper, updated for the aviation world of today.Lessons include: Aerodynamic force, air properties, angle of attack, the "Big Sky Theory," climb performance, the control and performance technique, course intercepts, critical mach, crosswinds, CR-3 and CPU-26 computers, fix-to-fix navigation, ground effect, holding (FAA), ILS, jet engine 101, mechanics, navigation, physics, plotting, radar, the region of reversed command, stability, thrust and drag, thrust measurement, turn performance, unusual attitude recovery, V-1 (decision speed), water injection, and wind shear.
