The most comprehensive pilot textbook available, The Pilot's Manual: Access to Flight provides efficient training methodology that helps you graduate with a truly successful personal transportation solution. Technically Advanced Aircraft TAA demand a level of understanding and functional proficiency as never before. This breakthrough course is simply the most efficient and comprehensive way to prepare for flight in TAA and today's increasingly complex flight environment. General aviation has undergone an extraordinary transformation in recent years.
EFIS electronic flight instrument system or 'glass' cockpit-equipped aircraft, once the exclusive realm of airline, corporate, and military pilots, have now proliferated the GA landscape. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, pilots and instructors accustomed to flying aircraft equipped with conventional gauges that hadn't changed much in almost 50 years were now sitting behind sophisticated systems with glowing displays, comparable only to some of the most advanced airliners and corporate jets.
These second generation 'Technically Advanced Aircraft' TAA literally represented the coming of a new age and the promise of nearly unlimited potential. At the same time however, the arrival of these sophisticated aircraft created an unprecedented training and operational challenge never experienced in GA. The Pilot's Manual: Access to Flight has been specifically crafted to meet this challenge, making use of methods that will allow pilots to obtain the maximum safety and utility from their aircraft.
For the first time ever, private pilot and instrument rating curriculums are integrated so pilots flying TAA learn to intrinsically manage the combined skills of aircraft control, task management, systems management, and the complex flight environment of today's busy airspace. This is a very different approach from the practice of traditional maneuver-based flight training used heretofore.
With a realization of the inadequacy of maneuver-based training as applied to TAA, The Pilot's Manual: Access to Flight embodies the state-of-the-art industry training standards of scenario-based training SBT , learner centered grading and involvement, and single pilot resource management SRM.
These are real world skills, taught with a train-like-you-fly, fly-like-you-train philosophy, treating each and every lesson as a 'real' flight. This is where harnessing the power of all available resources and aeronautical decision making ADM become second nature. Whereas maneuver-based training focused specifically on simply learning to control the aircraft, this new methodology involves considering an entire flight, and all its component aspects, from beginning to end.
Aeronautical concepts and flight procedures? Containing the latest rules and regulations, this updated edition also includes important information on runway incursion avoidance procedures and global positioning systems. Additional sidebars and suggested mnemonic devices help to further clarify complex concepts and increase recall.
Subjects covered include aerodynamics, the airplane and its performance factors, physiological factors affecting the pilot, weather, regulations, charts and airspace, airport operations, navigation, and flight planning, including specific instructions on how to use the flight computer. Helpful marginal notes are provided for quick definitions of terms, further emphasis of key points, and mnemonic devices that can be of tremendous benefit to study.
Each chapter closes with review questions highlighting the important facts. Ninety percent of the material is for the private pilot applicant, and the remaining ten percent, well-separated, will raise you to the commercial pilot certificate standard. Features a step-by-step description of course contents.

Throughout the entire series, graphs and illustrations accompany the descriptions and simplify any complicated manoeuvres and techniques. With up-to-date procedures and tips that could only be gleaned from experts, this series is invaluable for any pilot. Time is money in an airplane and with an instructor. The Pilot's Manual: Flight School will save readers on both as they progress through their Private and Commercial certificates.
Flight instructors tell students which maneuvers will be covered in the next lesson; student can then prepare themselves by reading the relevant chapters and working the reviews. The book can also be used with the post-flight briefing to consolidate what students practiced in the air. Flight instructors will benefit from better-prepared students, and students will benefit from more progress in their flight training. Students read about the maneuvers covered in their forthcoming lesson and gain both a theoretical and operational understanding of the tasks before heading to the airport.
In addition to covering all the maneuvers, the book also prepares readers for the student pilot milestones: first solo, cross-country flying, instrument flight, and night flying. The appendix provides a comprehensive airplane checkout review, which readers can use to prepare for transitioning to a new airplane type, insurance applications, or the Flight Review BFR ground lesson.
