Advanced Pilot Manual

If pilots know the principles of performance they can readily understand the effects of altitude, temperature, and other variables of airplane operation. The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual bridges the gap between performance theory and practical application, combining the two to explain the fundamentals of airplane performance based on the four forces of lift, weight, drag, and thrust, as well as the effects of variable factors such as altitude and temperature on the operation of the aircraft. The book's standardized format enables pilots to quickly find information, no matter what type of plane they fly. The text provides detailed information for the pilot who wants to be challenged.
