Operational procedures, covers the JAR-FCL syllabus and Learning Objectives for this subject and also includes specimen revision and test questions and answers. It comprehensively covers the JAR-FCL syllabus and Learning Objectives for this subject and also includes specimen revision and test questions and answers. Operators of aircraft must ensure that both aircrew and groundcrew comply with all procedures required by national and international law, and that crews have access to all information essential to the safe conduct of flights and associated activities, whether in the air or on the ground. This book deals with ICAO annexes, JAR OPS and NAT MNPS documents relevant to this requirement.

About these Manuals

• The content of this Oxford Aviation text book series meets the requirements of the JAR-FCL theoretical knowledge syllabus for the Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and complies with the ATPL learning Objectives published by the JAA.
• Many diagrams, most of them in colour are used to explain the more difficult concepts and the majority of chapters include multiple choice questions which allow students to check their progress. Now in its 40th year of continuous operation as a Training School for Air Transport Pilots, Oxford Aviation Training has an enviable and long established, worldwide reputation for the provision of high quality pilot training. The first educational establishment to be awarded the United Kingdom's prestigious Queen's Award for Industry, Oxford has trained more than 14,000 pilots for some 50 major airlines and Government bodies representing more than 60 countries through-out the world. Today, at its two bases at Oxford and in the United States, the school trains more than 250 pilots a year to JAA ATPL standard.

Communications, comprehensively covers the JAR-FCL syllabus and Learning Objectives for this subject and also includes specimen revision and test questions and answers. It deals with RT communications which form the basis of procedural flying in the professional aviation environment. Proficiency in RT Communications is fundamental to becoming a commercial pilot. This book teaches the fundamentals of both VFR and IFR RT Communications to prepare students for the JAA ATPL theoretical examinations and for their practical flying training.

Mass and Balance covers the factors governing the loading of an aeroplane to ensure that the longitudinal centre of gravity and mass are within the structural and performance limits. This volume has been written to give you a good understanding of the effects of adding or subtracting a mass from an aeroplane, or moving a mass within an aeroplane, through the use of explanation and worked examples. It enables you to understand the importance of ensuring that the aeroplane for which you are responsible is correctly loaded and trimmed for flight and ground operations.

• Definition and Terminology
• Limits
• Loading
• Centre of Gravity

The JAR—FCL has adopted the UK CAA Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 696 for Mass and Balance examination purposes. This volume details three generic aeroplanes, single engine piston aeroplane, a multi-engine piston aeroplane, and medium range twin jet.

This new 2005 manual is part of the most current set of JAA ATPL training books on the market. The philosophy of these manuals is to train pilots to fly safely and competently, not just pass the exams. To this end, the material is thorough and comprehensive, yet the books utilise full-color graphics and diagrams that make complex topics easier to grasp. The complete set of 15 volumes contains nearly 4,000 pages.

A sound knowledge of Air Law is fundamental for all pilots. This volume covers the origins of aviation law before covering the practical elements of the rules of the air, personnel licensing and the operational aspects of Air Law as they affect the Airline Transport Pilot.

• International Agreements and Organisations
• Annex 8 - Airworthiness of Aircraft
• Annex 7 - Aircraft Nationality and Registration Marks
• Annex 1 - Licensing
• Rules of the Air
• Procedures for Air Navigation
• Air Traffic Services
• Aerodromes
• Facilitation
• Search and Rescue
• Security
• Aircraft
• Accident Investigation
• JAR-FCL National Law

Air Law is often a daunting subject to many students. This volume is designed to be as "friendly" as possible whilst ensuring that you are fully prepared for the JAR Air Law examination. A number of procedures are described in detail which takes you from the flight planning phase through the departure phase, radar procedures, holding procedures, and the approach phase of flight. You will also gain knowledge of aerodrome facilities, the specific requirements of the Search and Rescue Alerting Service, the notification and investigation of aircraft accidents, and acts of unlawful interference.

Operational Procedures include the requirements for the issue of an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), Flight Operations and Planning, Low Visibility Operations, and Transoceanic Flight. A significant part of the volume covers Special Operational Procedures and Hazards such as icing, fire, wind shear, wake turbulence, pressurisation failure, and the carriage of dangerous goods.

• Operator
• Air Operations Certificate
• Flight Operations
• Aerodrome Operating Minima
• Low Visibility Operations
• Special Operational
• Procedures and Hazards
• Transoceanic and Polar Flight

Remember that this text is a study guide and is not to be used as an operational reference as JAR OPS-1 is a "living" document that is regularly amended.

The principles of airborne navigation have evolved considerably over the last 100 years. With commercial aircraft now capable of flights in excess of 20 hours, with much of the duration spent over the oceans, navigation techniques have had to evolve to meet these new demands.

• Basics of Navigation
• Magnetism
• Compasses
• Charts
• Dead Reckoning Navigation
• In-Flight Navigation
• Inertial Navigation Systems

The JAR ATPL (A) General Navigation examination requires a competency in the calculations of distance, direction, speed, and time. It also requires a detailed understanding of maps and charts, including their properties and limitations. This volume takes the prospective Airline Transport Pilot from basic navigational and plotting skills to the principles and application of Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). Not only does this volume prepare the student for the General Navigation examination, it also discusses the practical aspects of navigation that might be encountered during commercial airline operations.

Airframes & Systems, Electrics, Powerplant, and Emergency Equipment (ASEPE) - Aeroplanes, subject 021, covers a broad swathe of information that is examined in one paper. To make this information manageable, the 021 subject is broken down into three volumes; these are Airframes & Systems [which incorporates Emergency Equipment], Electrics, and Powerplant.

• Fuselage
• Windows
• Wings
• Stabilising Surfaces
• Landing Gear
• Flight Controls
• Hydraulics
• Pneumatic Systems
• Air Conditioning System
• Pressurisation
• De-ice / Anti-Ice Systems
• Fuel Systems

Airframes & Systems provides a good grounding in the technical aspect of an aircraft's structure and systems, detailing, for examination purposes where required, the regulations that the student has to know and the methods by which these requirements are met. As with other subjects, there will always be areas that the student has studied that are not questioned in the exam. Learning this information is not effort wasted, as the information given within the volume provides the foundation knowledge on which the type rating course can be built.
