Organised and written as an accessible study guide for student
pilots wishing to take commercial ground examinations to obtain
ATPL or CPL licenses, Principles of Flight for Pilots also
provides a reliable up-to-date reference for qualified and
experienced personnel wishing to further improve their
understanding of the Principles of Flight and related subjects.
Providing a unique aerodynamics reference tool, unlike any book
previously Principles of Flight for Pilots explains in
significant depth all the topics necessary to pass the Principles
of Flight examination as required by the EASA syllabus.
Aviation ground instructor Peter J. Swatton, well reputed for
his previous works in the field of pilot ground training, presents
the subject in seven parts including basic aerodynamics; level
flight aerodynamics; stability; manoeuvre aerodynamics; and other
aerodynamic considerations. Each chapter includes self-assessed
questions, 848 in total spread over eighteen chapters, with
solutions provided at the end of the book containing full
calculations and explanations.
