"This comprehensive maneuvers manual is an excellent visual aid for instructors and pilots in training, covering all the flight maneuvers required for Private, Sport, Commercial, and Flight Instructor certification. Each maneuver is depicted in detail according to the type of aircraft in which the lesson will take place, states the objective of the task, and lists the FAA Certification Standards required, serving as an effective learning and teaching tool. Fully illustrated with fold-out pages that show and explain each maneuver on a one-page spread so pilots can see and read complete details on what to do, in the proper order, to successfully demonstrate all required flight maneuvers. Compact format with spiral binding provides easy access to the fold-out pages. The illustrated fold-outs show each maneuver step-by-step, so pilots understand what they should be looking for outside the cockpit window. Contains full descriptions of stalls, slips, performance and ground reference maneuvers as well as short, soft, and crosswind takeoffs and landings. This revised fifth edition adds a new section on energy management. Also included are suggested checklists for everything from preflight to takeoffs and landings, performance, and checkrides, and an easy-to-use index so pilots can quickly refer to any desired task."--Publisher marketing.

"This is the fifth edition of a book pilots have been relying on to learn multi-engine flying for more than 20 years. Learn fundamentals of flying multi-engine airplanes and the aerodynamic laws that govern multi-engine flight, including energy management, under Bob Gardner's experienced and energetic tutoring. Included is information on both obtaining the multi-engine rating and checking out in a new twin. An integrated flight and ground syllabus details the program for the rating and provides a sample written test, typical of the one used for new-aircraft checkouts. Also contains a complete library of FAA source material on multi-engine flight subjects. The Complete Pilot Series is designed for use in flight schools, for home study, and as a base for student kits"--

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.

Written for pilots who want to transition from land-based aircraft to seaplanes, this guide is designed to teach the special maneuvers that are required for the FAA's seaplane rating and also gives insight into the important practical differences between flying landplanes and seaplanes. Each step of flying a seaplane is presented in logical order, starting with preflight and proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and postflight procedures. Special attention is given to the issues involved in handling an aircraft on the water, such as conditions for takeoff and landing, and docking, beaching, or ramping a seaplane. This new edition includes a special emphasis on safety and the kinds of pilot decision-making processes that keep seaplanes flying well and safely.
