Download or read book Flight Navigation for the Private Pilot written by Stephen Walmsley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pilot can travel a considerable distance, across a range of different landscapes on a single flight; from rugged bush, oceans, mountainous terrain and deserts. No other mode of transport offers such freedom. But with this freedom comes responsibility. To arrive safely at a distant destination, pilots must understand the key components of flight navigation. Flying the wrong heading, underestimating the time and fuel for the flight can all have serious consequences. The main focus of this book is flying a cross-country flight under visual flight rules (VFR). This book follows closely the syllabi of Navigation and Flight Planning from a range of aviation authorities around the world. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the wide range of components of flight navigation.

Download or read book Skyfaring written by Mark Vanhoenacker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

Download or read book Air Navigation Law written by Ruwantissa Abeyratne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aviation community, in which the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO) play leading roles, is hard at work in bringing aviation into the 21st Century. In doing so, the United States and Europe have taken proactive steps forward in introducing modernization, particularly in moving towards more efficient air traffic management systems within NextGen and SESAR. Elsewhere, in the fields of personnel licensing, rules of the air, accident investigation and aeronautical charts and information, significant strides are being made in moving from mere regulation to implementation and assistance calculated to make all ICAO member States self sufficient in international civil aviation. However, these objectives can be achieved only if the aviation industry has a sustained understanding of the legal and regulatory principles applying to the various areas of air navigation. This book provides that discussion. Some of the subjects discussed in this book are: sovereignty in airspace; flight information and air defence identification zones; rules of the air; personnel licensing; meteorological services; operations of aircraft; air traffic services; accident and incident investigation; aerodromes; efficiency aspects of aviation and environmental protection; aeronautical charts and information; the carriage of dangerous goods; and NextGen and SESAR . Except for NextGen and SESAR, these subjects form the titles of the Annexes to the Chicago Convention that particularly involve the rights and liabilities of the key players involved in air navigation.
