This book aims to develop in pilots a keen sense of awareness in each of the three major areas of the landing procedure: recognition of the landing situation and understanding its true nature, knowledge of how to meet and weigh each task required against personal skill and limitation, and ability to evaluate the airplane's capacity to meet challenge. Each chapter presents and defines a specific landing situation so that pilots can quickly recognise it in the cockpit and institute corrective procedures.

• Available in paperback for the first time
• A 'how-to-do-it' book with minimal theory
• Perfect landings mean safe landings.
  

For the student working towards a Private Pilot's Licence, three important test hurdles have to be cleared. They are the two flying skills tests- General Handling and Navigation - and the theoretical knowledge examinations, often referred to as the "ground exams." Passing the ground examinations requires two types of preparation.
You must, of course, learn thoroughly all the subject matter in the different theoretical knowledge disciplines, but then, before you sit the actual examinations, you must also familiarise yourself with the level of difficulty and style of the PPL examination questions themselves. This PPL Examination Preparation CD-ROM from Oxford Aviation Training - one of the world's leading pilot training schools - enables you to do just that.

In addition to all the questions from the complete set of the renowned OAT/Transair PPL Ground Training CD-ROMs, over 540 new questions have been added to this Exam Preparation CD-ROM, making over 1550 questions in all. Using the CD-ROM, you can test yourself on individual examination subjects, or attempt a complete PPL-style examination paper. The CD-ROM will mark your work, give you your result and indicate the questions that you have answered wrongly, inviting you to select the correct answer

In the early 1940s, Wolfgang Langewiesche wrote a series of articles in Air Facts analyzing the various aspects of piloting techniques. Based on these articles, Langewiesches classic work on the art of flying was published in 1944.
Stick and Rudder was the first written analysis of the art of piloting and each article remains as valid today as on the day it was first published. It has long been on the "students must read" lists of many flight instructors and continues to be acclaimed for its accurate, intelligent, and critical analysis of flying; an analysis that is not presented in most modern flight school textbooks.
The basics are largely unchanging. The book therfore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself. Today several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying. One thorough reading of it should be the equivalent of many hours of practice.

With each Video Lesson following the practical flying exercises exactly as per the JAR Syllabus, this Complete JAR PPL Flying Course 2 DVD set filmed in superb quality from inside the cockpit helps you to obtain the JAR PPL. For the cost of one lesson, you can review and study every lesson in the course over and over again saving you time and therefore money when in the air.
It bridges the gap of an up-to-date and high quality training aid sadly lacking in this market for some time and comes highly recommended.
Using this Inside the cockpit procedure it allows the DVD to focus on the “follow me through technique ” Your instructor for this DVD, a Boeing 767 pilot & CAA Examiner shows you how to fly correctly by demonstrating each manoeuvre and explaining the effects on the aircraft your action is having. It incorporates the safety factors you must be aware of as well as demonstrating a good standard of airmanship throughout.
There are 2 DVD's in this package covering 46 separate interactive Lessons from Flying Straight & Level to executing a safe Crosswind Landing.

Included on the DVD are numerous pages of Information & Checklists.
Using 7 camera positions inside and outside the aircraft, high definition cameras have been used for crystal clear pictures. ( HD television or DVD player is not required)
This an invaluable study aid for new pilots and for qualified pilots provides an important reference source of the proper flying skills for continuous Pilot improvement.
