Applied Aerodynamics for Private and Commercial Pilots
Couldn't load pickup availability
APPLIED AERODYNAMICS FOR PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL PILOTS introduces pilots to flight theory and it’s application to flight operations. APPLIED AERODYNAMICS is divided into two parts: Theory and Practice. Part one introduces the topics of flight mechanics as they apply to pilots. Part two discusses how this theory applies to the practical operation of the aircraft. Combined, the two segments of the book will supplement flight instruction and provide pilots with the needed background to learn competent handling of the aircraft. Topics covered include: aerodynamic forces, stalls and spins, stability, control, performance, aircraft limitations, aircraft handling methods, and applications to flight operations.
