"Talking on an aviation radio and understanding air traffic control (ATC) instructions can be one of the most intimidating aspects of flight training. In "Say Again, Please" Bob Gardner explains how the ATC system works and teaches pilots what to say, what to expect to hear, how to interpret and react to clearances and instructions, and understand the chatter of the other aircraft sharing your airspace. His conversational-yet-concise writing style will help increase your comfort level when using an aircraft radio. Inside are talk examples of typical radio transmissions explaining how ATC works, as well as simulated flights that clearly demonstrate correct communication procedures in each class of airspace. This hands-on book covers the following: - The ABCs of communicating - Understanding radio equipment - Communication etiquette and rules - VFR, IFR, and emergency communication procedures - Air traffic control facilities and their functions - Review of airspace definitions - Glossary of pilot/controller communication terms and phrases. Let "Say Again, Please" help you learn how to communicate in the air"--

The Standard(TM) UAS Operator Log meets the needs of civilian, military, hobbyists, and professional operators alike so that critical flight details can be tracked. It provides record-keeping for flight operations of small and large unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), remote-control aircraft (R/C), remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), and drones. Provides effective 14 CFR Part 107 operation and maintenance record-keeping for those holding a Remote Pilot certificate with UAS rating. The logbook has sufficient room for more than 300 flights with space to record the equipment details, location (city, lat/long), aircraft category, flight conditions, type of operating time (dual received, Remote Pilot In Command, sensor operator, mission coordinator, instructor and a blank column usable for payload operator or Visual Observer, when an aircraft is armed, or other details pertinent to the operation), number of takeoff/launch and landing/recovery, and the total duration of the flight. The remarks area provides space to note the mission, crew, control method (such as RC, first person view or RPV and autonomous), exemption number, battery number and configuration or other information to correlate to the flight controller mission logs. It also includes a summary page for Owner/Operator (such as contact details, recurrency training, device maintenance), a scheduled and unscheduled maintenance log, summary page for equipment and hours flown, and initial and recurrent training endorsements.

"An Aircraft Dispatcher (ADX) is a licensed airman certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), typically employed by airlines or companies operating large transport-category aircraft, who has joint responsibility with the captain for the safety and operational control of flights. Dispatchers legally authorize flight departures and have authority to delay or cancel flights if unsafe conditions exist. They disseminate flight information to the company and are the source of information provided to the traveling public. The FAA Practical Exam for Aircraft Dispatcher is equivalent to the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) oral exam that an airline captain must successfully complete. This Aircraft Dispatcher Oral Exam Guide prepares you for the exam with an explanation of the certification process, knowledge requirements in a question-and-answer format, and reference materials for further study. It covers the aircraft dispatcher Practical Test Standard subject areas such as route planning, regulations, training and currency requirements, certification, responsibilities and authority, aviation weather, manuals and documents, as well as practical applications of all topics. In addition, special emphasis is placed on common areas of focus for the exam: situational questions, and a generic guide to the proper systems and procedures you can apply to the specific aircraft used in your individual operations."--Publisher marketing.

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.

"If the Airline Transport Pilot certificate is the Ph.D. of aviation, the Commercial and Instrument tickets represent the bachelor's and master's degrees." Author Bob Gardner so defines the advanced pilot; The Complete Advanced Pilot is written for the many pilots who streamline their efforts by preparing for the instrument rating and the commercial certificate simultaneously. An FAA Knowledge Exam is required for the instrument rating and the commercial certificate. In using the FAA tests as the premise for learning, here Bob Gardner applies practical information so readers are not only prepared for the exams but also for the cockpit. The required aeronautical knowledge is augmented by his specific tips and techniques, checklists and mnemonic devices, and sound advice from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with sample FAA test questions, and a comprehensive glossary and index are included as well as an approach chart legend appendix. This practical application of the FAA Knowledge Exam is not available in any other text! With the author's conversational yet concise explanations, readers will quickly grasp the subjects, pass the required tests and checkrides, and have an operational understanding of flight they can take to the cockpit as newly-minted commercial pilots operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). Includes helpful internet resources for weather charts, full color examples of those weather charts, updated review questions and resource website links.
