Download or read book General Aviation Security written by Daniel J. Benny, Ph.D and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 9/11, the initial focus from the U.S. government, media, and the public was on security at commercial airports and aboard commercial airlines. Soon, investigation revealed the hijackers had trained at flight schools operating out of general aviation airports, leading to a huge outcry by the media and within the government to mandate security regulations for this flight sector. General Aviation Security: Aircraft, Hangars, Fixed-Base Operations, Flight Schools, and Airports examines the threats against general aviation (GA) and presents resources for security professionals and GA airport owners and operators to develop an impenetrable airport and aircraft security plan. Following an overview of general aviation and its inherent security threats, the book explores: Physical security for the aviation environment, including intrusion detection systems, cameras, locks, lighting, and window security The security force, including recruitment and training Security of general aviation aircraft and airports, including runway security and fuel storage Airport safety regulations such as the Workers Protection Act and the Bloodborne Pathogens Act Emergency response to a range of scenarios, including medical emergencies, fires, gas leaks, and bomb threats The security of hangars, fixed-base operations, and flight schools Corporate aviation security departments The book concludes with a study involving the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Watch Program and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security requirements and recommendations for general aviation. General aviation supports public safety, business, agriculture, commercial airports, aeronautical education, and many aspects of the aviation industry. The book is the first to explore the unique security concerns relevant to general aviation operations. Dr. Daniel J. Benny was interviewed on video by General Aviation Security Magazine about his article concerning the effects of the Airport Watch Program.

Book excerpt: The effect that recent technological advances in aviation-related software, hardware, and infrastructure flying skills and their increased reliance on such devices during cloudless flights is examined in this authoritative Attitude Reference (VAR), the revolutionary flight training program, is at the center of this discussion and call for a visual flight instruction program similar to that of Basic Attitude Instruments (BAI). Core VAR segments, task prioritization, and proficiency segments for performance maneuvers--all of which lead efficiency and sound aeronautical decision--are discussed, as well as visual situational awareness and plane maintenance. Additional information is also provided on passing checkrides and oral examinations, pilot maintenance responsibilities, and FAA special-emphasis programs including the TAA Safety Study Standard.

Download or read book The Future of General Aviation Depends Upon Creating New Pilots written by and published by . This book was released on 19?? with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of Flightech is to help general aviation establish a sound base upon which the industry can help build its future. This base, of necessity, must be at the student/instructor/flight school level. The entire industry views with alarm the recent drop-off in new student starts. This drop-off, coupled with the low percentage of students who actually complete their training and receive private licenses, points toward a prolongation of the serious slump in which general aviation now finds itself. With this particular target area in mind, Flightech, Inc., has developed this 'total flight training package' concept that is now being offered to flight schools throughout the country. Operators participating in the Flightech program will create a healthier climate for general aviation that will benefit students, instructors, operators, manufacturers and everyone connected with the industry.

Download or read book Dreams of Flight written by Janet R. Daly Bednarek and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General aviation encompasses all the ways aircraft are used beyond commercial and military flying: private flights, barnstormers, cropdusters, and so on. Authors Janet and Michael Bednarek have taken on the formidable task of discussing the hundred-year history of this broad and diverse field by focusing on the most important figures and organizations in general aviation and the major producers of general aviation aircraft and engines. This history examines the many airplanes used in general aviation, from early Wright and Curtiss aircraft to the Piper Cub and the Lear Jet. The authors trace the careers of birdmen, birdwomen, barnstormers, and others who shaped general aviation—from Clyde Cessna and the Stinson family of San Antonio to Olive Ann Beech and Paul Poberezny of Milwaukee. They explain how the development of engines influenced the development of aircraft, from the E-107 that powered the 1929 Aeronca C-2, the first affordable personal aircraft, to the Continental A-40 that powered the Piper Cub, and the Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turboprop used on many aircraft after World War II. In addition, the authors chart the boom and bust cycle of general aviation manufacturers, the rising costs and increased regulations that have accompanied a decline in pilots, the creation of an influential general aviation lobby in Washington, and the growing popularity of “type” clubs, created to maintain aircraft whose average age is twenty-eight years. This book provides readers with a sense of the scope and richness of the history of general aviation in the United States. An epilogue examining the consequences of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, provides a cautionary note.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine the weaknesses of present flight training syllabi, the methods of training used, and the flight instruction presently provided in the stall/spin area; conceive an experimental stall/spin increment to an established flight and ground training syllabus; and conduct flight and ground test evaluations of this syllabus change and the flight instruction techniques required. Results indicate that additional ground training in the subject of stalls and spins, additional flight training on stall awareness, and/or intentional spin training would all have a positive influence toward reducing inadvertent stalls and spins.
