Book Description
For those who fly, a thorough knowledge of the Principles of
Flight is essential if they are fully to appreciate the flight
characteristics of their aircraft, and become safe and proficient pilots.
Complementary to the study of the Principles of Flight, in terms of
acquiring an understanding of the way an aeroplane flies, is the study of
Aeroplane Performance.
This book aims to teach the two subjects in a way which is relevant to the
practising pilot while, at the same time, giving appropriate emphasis to
the pure theory of the two subjects demanded by the PPL theoretical
knowledge examinations. The depth and scope of the treatment of both
subjects are such that this book should also provide a sound introduction
to Principles of Flight and Aeroplane Performance for those students who
are preparing for examinations at professional pilot level.
