William K. Kershner Libros

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 Airplane performance and stability for pilotsChecking out in advanced models and typesEmergencies and unusual situationsAdvanced navigationHigh-altitude OperationsPreparing for the commercial knowledge and practical tests

Everything a student pilot needs to gain aviation certification is included in this handbook for student pilots.

A manual for pilots seeking to add an instrument rating and for instrument-rated pilots needing a refresher, this guide covers airplane performance and basic instrument flying, navigation and communications, clearances, planning the instrument flight, and executing instrument flight—from preflight and departure to the approach and landing phases. Presenting the basics of instrument flying, this well-illustrated resource concludes with information to prepare for the FAA knowledge and practical tests. A comprehensive "Instrument Rating Syllabus" is provided for the instrument trainee and instrument flight instructor, significant time is devoted to dealing with air traffic control, and explanations for operating an airplane in instrument meteorological conditions is included.
