Volume 8 - Principles of Flight

JAA approved textbook written to European aviation regulations and standards.

Jeppesen and Atlantic Flight Training have teamed up to produce these top quality ATPL training books with the philosophy of training pilots to fly - not just pass tests. The ATPL books are thorough and comprehensive, yet utilize full color graphics to make complex concepts easy to grasp.

Some topics include:
• Laws and Definitions
• Aerofoil Airflow
• Aeroplane Airflow
• Lift Coefficient
• Total Drag
• Ground Effect
• Stall
• CLmax Augmentation
• Lift Coefficient and Speed
• Boundary Layer
• High Speed Flight
• Stability
• Flying Controls
• Adverse Weather Conditions
• Propellers
• Operating Limitations
• Flight Mechanics

Principles of Flight is a fundamental key to many of the other theoretical subjects and of course to flight training. This volume has been written to give the student a good understanding of the principles underlying their practical flying training. Through the use of colored diagrams and limited mathematics, it explores the theoretical and practical aspects of low and high speed flight, flying controls, lift augmentation, aeroplane stability and design, and the aerodynamic aspects of propellers. Fundamental laws and definitions are stated, explained, and then applied. Where mathematical equations are introduced, work examples are included.

An abbreviated Table of Contents is also included below:
