Download or read book Flying for Gps written by Len Jacobson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on GPS are quite technical and concentrate on the satellites and/or receiver design. This book is about user equipment evolution from expensive, complex and voluminous military sets to todays low-cost chips buried in our cell phones. It traces a system designed primarily for military and civilian aircraft, ships and land vehicles to an essential utility of everyday life, enabling new businesses, more safety and the ability to track everything that moves. In parallel with the evolution of GPS is the evolution of commercial air travel as experienced by the author, starting from a flight on a Pan Am 707 in 1963 to a recent one on an Air France A380. Part II is a memoir written for the GPS community, people who have met or been influenced or educated about GPS by the author and anyone else interested in this facet of GPS history. It describes the tribulations that accompanied the development GPS user equipment and some of their first applications. What makes the book an autobiography is the inclusion of Part I, which is for the authors friends and family and anyone else interested in his early development.

Download or read book Instrument Flying Handbook written by Federal Aviation Administration and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration's Instrument Flying Handbook provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and controllers with the knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions. Illustrated with full-color graphics and photographs, topics covered include basic atmospheric science, the air traffic control system, spatial disorientation and optical illusions, flight support systems, and emergency responses. The book's two appendixes contain information on clearance shorthand and an instrument training lesson guide. Readers will also find a handy glossary and index. Since many questions on FAA exams are taken directly from the information presented in this text, the Instrument Flying Handbook is a great study guide for potential pilots looking for certification, and a perfect gift for any aircraft or aeronautical buff.
Download or read book Aviator s Guide to GPS written by Bill Clarke and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 1998 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other guide helps you navigate the Global Positioning System [GPS]like this one--with the latest applications for air, surface, and marine travel. This third edition of the Aviator's Guide to GPS is the essential sourcebook of current equipment and applications for the world's most precise, satellite-driven navigation system. Instrumentation, positioning accuracy, regulations, and the latest forms of alternative radio navigation are discussed--as is the fascinating history of the system's development by the Pentagon. The book covers this global navigational system in an easy-to-read, fully illustrated format that gives practical, hands-on pointers on: familiarizing yourself with NAVSTAR, LORAN-C, and all civilian applications of GPS; consumer advice on purchasing GPS-friendly equipment such as specialized receivers and digital instrumentation; marine navigation, land positioning, surveying, mapping, and personal safety. The author also outlines the continually evolving improvements GPS brings to modern aviation: more direct routing, precision airport approaches, decreased congestion, and safely increasing the number of aircraft that can use a given airspace. No other book on the market handles GPS as thoroughly and practically as this one. Tap the full potential of the world's premier positioning system with the Aviator's Guide to GPS!

Download or read book GPS Autopilot and Flight Director Systems written by Bruce Bessette and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 1 GPS Systems This section introduces the technician to the history and system design of the Global Positioning System. This section will emphasize the operations and frequencies broadcasted from the satellites and how those frequencies are modulated. Section 2 GPS Installations This section is the portion that covers the onboard equipment. From early non-approved models to the new TSO approved units today, this section will cover the type of installations and how certain aircraft will use the position information. Section 3 Flight Management Systems Section three is a review of aircraft Flight Management Systems (FMS). GPS systems only have one job; to find the location of the aircraft as accurately as possible. Before this technology the aircraft location on a map would have to be plotted, then the progress of the aircraft's flight continuously updated by hand by the pilot. The task of monitoring of all aspects of the process of flying and navigating an aircraft by the pilot can be called flight management. The advance of GPS technology has brought to the cockpit ability to plot on a moving map the exact location of the aircraft. Section 4 Aircraft Documentation This section builds on Section 3 GPS installer. Aircraft that are required to maintain their airworthiness must have documentation that proves that work. This section covers documents types such as the variously; Aircraft Equipment List, Weight and Balance document, FAA Form 337 for record major alterations and the Approved Flight Manual. This section describes what approved data that can be used to alter an aircraft and how that record information be included in the FAA Form 337 is. Section 5 Aircraft Fundamentals This section is designed to cover the basic of aircraft construction and operations. The reason for this section to help provide an understanding how an Autopilot system interfaces with the parts of the aircraft structure. An autopilot system will need to mimic the actions and controls of the pilot and technicians will need to understand what the system is doing. Section 6 Introduction to Autopilots This section covers the history of autopilots in aircraft and what they are expected to do for the pilots. First describing the three basic channels and the systems and control they move. Then the individual controls and components are covered to include how those components connect to the aircraft systems. Section 7 Testing the Autopilot This part the book is designed to correspond with the Autopilot Installers part of the course. At the lab section of this course, the student is expected to install and test a basic general aviation autopilot system. This section goes over how the specific systems operate and how the technician is to test and certify the new installation. Section 8 Air Carrier Auto Flight Systems This section covers more advanced autopilot systems that can be found in large air carrier aircraft. Starting with the analog Boeing 727 system students will learn how to turn on, engage and test a large aircraft autopilot system in all its various modes. Section 9 Flight Director Systems This section covers the system that assists pilot with visual cues when flying an aircraft. Starting with the Attitude Director Indicator to the FMS Mode Annunciation panel technicians will understand how the information is presented to the pilot and how to simulate the inputs to test the system. Section 10 Automated Engine Controls This last section covers those automated mechanical and electronic systems used to monitor and control modern jet engines. Beginning with the Engine Electronic Control (EEC) and ending the Full Authority Digital Engine Control System (FADEC) technicians will be introduced into the operation and monitoring of these throttle controls.
