Flight Instruments for the Private Pilot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798800295474)

When conducting a flight, pilots require a wide range of information. How fast is the aircraft traveling? How high? Is the engine healthy? The job of the flight instruments is to provide all this information to the pilot in a timely and accurate way. It is essential pilots have a solid understanding of the flight instruments in their aircraft, allowing them to obtain critical information, even when they are stretched to their limits.

The focus of this book is on flight instruments found in general aviation aircraft - primarily single-engine, propeller-driven aircraft. However, many of the flight instruments in small aircraft can be found in aircraft of all sizes. This book follows closely the syllabi of Flight Instruments from a range of aviation authorities around the world. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the flight instruments in their aircraft.
