Download or read book Flight of Passage written by Rinker Buck and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer Rinker Buck looks back more than 30 years to a summer when he and his brother, at ages 15 and 17 respectively, became the youngest duo to fly across America, from New Jersey to California. Having grown up in an aviation family, the two boys bought an old Piper Cub, restored it themselves, and set out on the grand journey. Buck is a great storyteller, and once you get airborne with the boys you find yourself absorbed in a story of adventure and family drama. And Flight of Passage is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.

Download or read book Classic Routes: the World's Best Hang Gliding and Paragliding Cross Country Routes written by Bob Drury and published by Cross Country International. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as the new "bible" for pilots Classic Routes is the ultimate guidebook to the world's ultimate free flight destinations. Whether you fly a lightweight paraglider or a topless hang glider, there is something in this book for you. Published by the makers of Cross Country Magazine, the international paragliding and hang gliding magazine, and edited by Bob Drury, Classic Routes is a unique tour through 20 of the world's premier free flight destinations. From the classic 90km Bingara Run in Manilla, Australia, to flying the convergence line in Piedrahita, Spain, to the Grand Tour of Annecy to chasing miles in Governador Valadares, Brazil, many of the world's best-known sites are all in here. Each chapter is written by a pilot who has flown the route and is familiar with the territory. They explain how you can fly it too, and what to look for along the way. House thermals are pointed out, secret glide lines explained, intricate meteorology unravelled and local rules unveiled. However, you don't have to be embarking on a world tour to get full advantage of Classic Routes. The book stands alone as a unique teaching and learning aid, explaining better than any textbook how to fly cross country. It lets you see inside the heads of pilots like Will Gadd or Jocky Sanderson as they reveal the tricks of their trade and share their secrets. The print version of Classic Routes is a classic coffee table book, with beautiful photography laid out over 200 pages. This digital version has been reformatted specifically for the Kindle, and features all the articles and chapters just as they are in the book, but without all the gorgeous photos available in the print version. You don't have to be an adventure sports enthusiast or an extreme sports addict to enjoy this book, or even a paraglider pilot or hang glider pilot – armchair travellers and sofa adventurers will enjoy the well written tales, which are written by some of the best writers in the sport. The list of places featured and who wrote them includes: Americas Will Gadd steps into the Rocky Mountain Trench for a 100km classic in Golden, Canada Nate Scales tip-toes 75km through Idaho’s Sun Valley, USA Mitch McAleer rides the ridges of California’s Lake Elsinore Jocky Sanderson goes 100km dot-to-dot from Governador Valadares, Brazil Europe Simon Coe and Arne Kristian Boiesen go troll hunting in Norway’s mountains Bob Drury shrugs off the rain for a classic tour of Snowdonia, Wales Hugh Miller dodges airspace and chases cloudbase as he boots it downwind across the flats from Combe Gibbet in England Matthew Whittall swaps his office BlackBerry for a vario on a 100km tour of King Ludwig’s castles in Bavaria Kelly Farina flies an FAI triangle in Austria’s ‘racing valley’, the Zillertal Felix Wolk top-lands Marmolada on his hang glider Roland Mader dares to ride the giant for a 200km FAI triangle starting from Fiesch, Switzerland J C Skiera surfs the limestone cliffs around Annecy’s Grand Tour du Lac Marcus King goes into the freezer on a 100km blast through the Ecrins in France Bob Drury rides wild horses on the 100km Dormillouse Run in southern France Bob Drury flies a blinder using the classic convergence in Piedrahita, Spain Rest of the world Greg Hamerton goes for 133km in Porterville, South Africa’s most popular site Adam Hill takes us by the hand around the Korchon Circuit in Pokhara, Nepal Jim Mallinson flies along the mountains from Bir to Dharamsala on an Indian Himalayan classic Download your copy now – reading means learning, and learning helps you fly better.

Download or read book Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards - Airplane written by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying a small plane to Alaska is an adventure many pilots only dream of. In 2008, the author, a student pilot, and his brother, a flight instructor, embarked on this adventure in an airplane old enough to be their mother. On their journey, they examined how to fit twelve feet eight inches worth of grown men into one of the smallest cockpits on earth--for as many as eight hours a day. They visited places they had planned on going, to see friends and relatives, and made unintended stops in places they hadn’t ever heard of. They waited out weather, waited on maintenance, and wrapped the whirlwind of learning to fly into one of the grandest cross-country trips imaginable. In the end, they covered in two weeks what takes commercial air carriers only a few hours to accomplish--but they had a lot more fun--and a much better view.

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.
