Book Synopsis Notes on the Tailwheel Checkout and an Introduction to Ski Flying by : Burke Mees
Download or read book Notes on the Tailwheel Checkout and an Introduction to Ski Flying written by Burke Mees and published by Aviation Supplies & Academics. This book was released on 2014 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book covers the basics for an initial tailwheel and ski checkout and contains commentary on the finer points of these topics. It is meant to be useful not only to the beginner first making the transition, but also to provide insights to the pilot or instructor who is already flying these kinds of airplanes. Most skiplanes are tailwheel airplanes and in the northern latitudes, ski flying is a seasonal variation of tailwheel flying. A lot of people fly a tailwheel airplane on wheels in the summer, then put the same airplane on skis in the winter. A tailwheel checkout is often followed up with a ski checkout and the author keeps to that same sequence of events in this book. Readers will benefit from clear explanations that have proven effective with students throughout the author's extensive career, distilled from two decades of experience in flying and flight instructing in tailwheel airplanes and skiplanes. An orderly presentation of all the topics required to develop tailwheel/ski competence are included for both basic topics (needed for the tailwheel checkout required by regulations) and advanced topics (such as flying multiengine tailwheel airplanes and ski-flying on glaciers and sea-ice). The book does more than just explain the list of topics, it anticipates and preemptively addresses the questions and difficulties experienced by the average student. It presents the material according to an organization the author has found to be effective in the course of his own instructing. In addition, you will be exposed to insights about the learning process that will help prepare you for flight training"--Provided by publisher.
Book Synopsis Taildragging for Pilots by : Dr. Anna Serbinenko
Download or read book Taildragging for Pilots written by Dr. Anna Serbinenko and published by Canadian Flight Centre. This book was released on with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying a Tailwheel Plane In the air all aeroplanes obey the same rules and fly in similar ways to each other, but on the ground tailwheel and nose wheel aeroplanes are quite different. It is not necessary for you to be an ace pilot to fly one of these tailwheel aeroplanes, all that is required is due care and attention: do not exceed your own limitations, or those of the aeroplane, read the manual, stay alert and keep flying the plane at ALL times: a flight is not finished until the aeroplane is either tied down or in the hangar.
Book Synopsis Teach Yourself to Fly by : Nigel Tangye
Download or read book Teach Yourself to Fly written by Nigel Tangye and published by Teach Yourself. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1938, Teach Yourself To Fly was not only one of the very first Teach Yourself books to be published but the first to actually change the world. It was used on the eve of the second world war to prepare pilot recruits and conscripts before they were called for service, and as such it was read religiously by thousands of young men, some as young as 17, and directly impacted on the British war effort. This beautiful new printing of the book captures all of the feelings of that extraordinary time - it's nostalgic, understated, inspiring and very British indeed, warning young pilots, amongst other things, not to feel 'too discouraged' in the event of a crash landing. Technology has changed hugely, but the principles of aviation as they were in the middle of the twentieth century are perfectly summarised in this lovely book. Get hold of the right vehicle, and it really can teach you to fly. What happens when you're up there, however, is your responsibility. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.
Download or read book Contact Flying written by Jim Dulin and published by Contact Flying. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike conventional aviation authors and instructors I do not teach primary flying, crop dusting, pipeline patrol flying, bush flying, helicopter medical evacuation flying, and air to ground gunnery using instruments inside the aircraft as the primary situational awareness tool. Rather I teach Dutch rolls, slow flight and stalls over the runway, the energy management turns, use of ground effect on all takeoffs, the brisk walk apparent rate of closure approach, hover taxi in fixed wing aircraft, and low level low power mountain flying using sights, sounds, smells, and kinetics. Sight is used 99.9% of the time looking at the ground. Airspeed, nor any other instrument is used in takeoff or landing. This text teaches the art of flying in the old style at low level using ground references. Its author has over sixteen thousand hours of flying Army helicopters, crop dusters, and pipeline patrol airplanes at three feet to five hundred feet above ground level.

Book Synopsis Notes of a Seaplane Instructor by : Burke Mees
Download or read book Notes of a Seaplane Instructor written by Burke Mees and published by Focus Series Book. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notes of a Seaplane Instructor is a distillation of all the tips, techniques and procedures of a veteran flyer and teacher, in an accessible and informative format. Author Burke Mees has an affinity for the "feel of the floats on the water" and how to communicate it in writing, as well as a sensible, professional approach which lends a truly "one-on-one" aspect to reading his book. All the seaplane maneuvers are covered, starting with preflight, proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and postflight procedures; also operating in various water conditions, stability of the aircraft on the water, step-taxi and -turn, and much more. Many illustrations, taken from and inspired by the author's own original flight instruction notebook sketches, help to further explain the concepts. In this new second edition, Burke provides even more notes on technique and performance particular to the world of floatplanes, with a special emphasis on safety and the best kind of pilot decision-making processes that keep seaplanes flying. The Second Edition also features an added chapter on multi-engine seaplane flying, and an appendix with notes on "pumping the floats" and "ropes and splicing." What is it like to fly single-engine float planes? How do pilots develop and then hone their water-flying skills? What techniques apply to both landplanes and seaplanes, and which ones belong in only one realm? The answers to these questions comprise a unique approach to seaplane flying, in a book that reveals what floatplane mastery is really all about. Notes of a Seaplane Instructor offers insights to all pilots, from already-rated seaplane pilots to those looking to experience the benefits and pleasures of seaplane flying for the first time.

Download or read book Flying Free written by Cecilia Aragon and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daughter of a Chilean father and a Filipina mother, Cecilia Rodriguez Aragon grew up as a shy, timid child in a small midwestern town during the 1960s. Targeted by school bullies and dismissed by many of her teachers, she worried that people would find out the truth: that she was INTF. Incompetent. Nerd. Terrified. Failure. This feeling stayed with her well into her twenties when she was told that “girls can’t do science” or “women just don’t know how to handle machines.” Yet in the span of just six years, Cecilia became the first Latina pilot to secure a place on the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team and earn the right to represent her country at the Olympics of aviation, the World Aerobatic Championships. How did she do it? Using mathematical techniques to overcome her fear, Cecilia performed at air shows in front of millions of people. She jumped out of airplanes and taught others how to fly. She learned how to fund-raise and earn money to compete at the world level. She worked as a test pilot and contributed to the design of experimental airplanes, crafting curves of metal and fabric that shaped air to lift inanimate objects high above the earth. And best of all, she surprised everyone by overcoming the prejudices people held about her because of her race and her gender. Flying Free is the story of how Cecilia Aragon broke free from expectations and rose above her own limits by combining her passion for flying with math and logic in unexpected ways. You don’t have to be a math whiz or a science geek to learn from her story. You just have to want to soar.
