Download or read book Beyond Gliding Distance written by Flavio Formosa and published by . This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I can't help being surprised, time and again, by the considerable number of gliding enthusiasts who end up leaving the sport, after having invested large amounts of time and energy learning to fly. Most of them quit without an apparent reason, while still declaring their love for flying. I strongly suspect that this happens because they fail, more or less consciously, to make the transition from glider to soaring pilots, something which mostly comes through the practice of cross-country flight. This book doesn't pretend to introduce any revolutionary technique, nor will it unveil the great and jealously hidden secret of accomplished cross-country pilots, simply because it doesn't exist. It aims rather to be a collection, as logical, complete and up to date as possible, of the many small tricks which form the knowledge base of pilots who practice soaring flight with utter satisfaction. It deliberately addresses pilots who are still building on their experience, and therefore covers at length a few subjects which are normally part of the basic flying course. This is done with the explicit goal of helping newcomers to develop the self-trust which plays a very important role in stimulating the first steps into the big unknown. Your first personal achievements in cross-country flight, and a good deal of fun, are closer than you might believe. If these pages will ever help readers make their transition towards being competent and safe soaring pilots, their goal will be more than fulfilled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller For millions of people, travel by air is a confounding, uncomfortable, and even fearful experience. Patrick Smith, airline pilot and author of the web's popular Ask the Pilot feature, separates the fact from fallacy and tells you everything you need to know... •How planes fly, and a revealing look at the men and women who fly them •Straight talk on turbulence, pilot training, and safety •The real story on congestion, delays, and the dysfunction of the modern airport •The myths and misconceptions of cabin air and cockpit automation •Terrorism in perspective, and a provocative look at security •Airfares, seating woes, and the pitfalls of airline customer service •The colors and cultures of the airlines we love to hate Cockpit Confidential covers not only the nuts and bolts of flying, but also the grand theater of air travel, from airport architecture to inflight service to the excitement of travel abroad. It's a thoughtful, funny, at times deeply personal look into the strange and misunderstood world of commercial flying. It's the ideal book for frequent flyers, nervous passengers, and global travelers. Refreshed and vastly expanded from the original Ask the Pilot, with approximately 75 percent new material.

Download or read book Seaplanes written by Erlend Vaage and published by Erlend Vaage. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the fun things one can do in flying, seaplane flying is high on most pilots’ favourite lists! From taking off from a sandy beach in the summer heat, avoiding all the traffic on the road and then landing up in the somewhat cooler mountainous regions for lunch, seaplane flying gives us amazing opportunities and freedoms. Seaplane flying never gets boring. The water is never the same as the last time you landed there. Changes in wind direction, wind speed, wave heights, currents, lighting conditions, and boat traffic are some of the factors that are constantly changing and require vigilance from a seaplane pilot. This book is written from a practical (and Europeean) point of view, and most of it is taken from the recommendations of experienced seaplane pilots under specific conditions. The book was originally written in Norwegian in 1977 and 1983 by Reinert C. Barratt and Tor B. Kirkvaag. It has since been revised in 1995 by Tor B. Kirkvaag and Arnfinn Halland and then revised in 2002, 2015, and 2022 by Erlend Vaage. Translated to English in 2024 by Erlend Vaage.
