Since the first edition published in 1962, this manual has long been a standard referece for veteran pilots preparing for the commercial written and flight tests. Explanations bridge the gap between theory and practical application, covering the fundamentals of airplane lift, weight, drag, and thrust, as well as the effects of variable factors such as altitude and temperature on the operation of the aircraft. If pilots know these basic principles of performance they will readily understand the effects of variable factors such as altitude and temperature on the operation of the aircraft. Seventh edition.

Bill Kershner's Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual

Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual by Bill Kershner


The Commercial license preparation manual from Kershner's "The Flight Manuals Series."

Bill Kershner believes that the average pilot could learn the basics of airplane performance very easily if the involved mathematics were bypassed. Therefore one of the purposes of this book is to bridge the gap between theory and practical application, covering the fundamentals of airplane Lift, Weight, Drag, and Thrust. If pilots know these basic principles of performance they will readily understand the effects of variable factors such as altitude and temperature on the operation of the aircraft.

This manual's 21 chapters cover:

Airplane performance and stability for pilots
Checking out in advanced models and types
Emergencies and unusual situations
Advanced navigation
High-altitude Operations
Preparing for the commercial knowledge and practical tests

Softcover, 8.5” x 11”, 400 pages.
