R.D.Campbell - This training manual is specifically written to cover the content and sequential layout of the flight training sections in the UK PPL Syllabus.It also includes the UK assistant Flying Instructor Syllabus. This polemic work should be necessary addition to every serious pilots book shelf. B&W, approx 450 pages, Softback.

This book is meant to be a quick reference, to save you either carrying around several large looseleaf volumes or a CD, which requires a laptop. Aside from being better organised and easier to read than the real regulations, its main benefit is the comprehensive index which enables you to get lost in the text more accurately!

Phil Croucher holds JAR, UK and Canadian licences for aeroplanes and helicopters with over 7600 hours on over 37 types of aircraft, and is currently Chief Pilot for Western Power Distribution. He is the author of The Helicopter Pilot's Handbook and JAR Professional Pilot Studies.

A complete flight training manual for multi engine rating, detailing information on the conversion to twin engine aircraft (instructor and students guide), technical subjects ie, UK air legislation, pilot licensing, maintaining the privileges of the aircraft rating, air navigation regulations, flight on asymmetric power, control in asymmetric power flight, minimum control and safety speeds, propellers, specific aircraft type, weight and performance and a detailed flight syllabus.

Ground study material for the JAA ATPL for aeroplanes! Just as important as the exams is the interview panel (BA expect over 85% overall passing grade), and this is the book for those who want to deal with both - its purpose is to help you become a professional, for which the exams are but a step on the way - doing the bare minimum to pass them makes you ill-prepared to be a pilot, which is not fair to future passengers and painfully obvious to employers (and interviewers) who certainly expect you to have more than a basic knowledge. The whole syllabus is covered - and more - in as much Plain English as possible!

This is a unique set of instructor notes to guide the instructor through each flight exercise and to expand on the important teaching points shown on each overhead transparency. Useful reminders on teaching techniques together with practical sequences to follow in the air, make this book a real 'must have' for all flight instructors however experienced. An invaluable source book which enhances the Pre-Flight Briefings as a teaching tool.

A comprehensive Flight Briefing Manual for Flying Instructors covering each exercise in the JAR Syllabus the AIM, points on Airmanship and Air Exercises within each component of the exercise is set out in the sequence in which it will normally be covered in flight. Similarly the Instructors Notes for each exercise should not be seen as covering every point one might wish to impart to every student, but rather they identify what have been found as the most salient points to stress. In order to ensure that these briefings are suitable for most single-engined light aircraft, where appropriate, boxes have been left for you to enter the correct airspeed and r.p.m. figures for the aircraft type(s) you use for training.

The multi-engine course manual is divided into five sections. Section 1 to 5 comprise the full and detailed pre-flight briefings covering the syllabi of both the PPL, B Rating and Mandatory Multi-Engine Conversion Training required for the inclusion of the first multi-engine type rating in a Professional Pilots' Licence. Section 1 is concerned solely with normal two engine operation, and covers in detail the general handling exercise that are required prior to the commencement of asymmetric flight training. Section 5 covers all aspects of the asymmetric flying syllabus using the same format as Section 1 - namely each flight exercise commences with a statement of the aim of that exercise, followed by 'Instructor Notes'. The relevant briefing points including all the elements which should be included in the air exercise are then specified sequentially and in full.

For many years there has been a strong dividing line between those who teach and those who instruct. Teaching is concerned with the development of intelligence and the acquisition of knowledge, processes confined mostly to the mind, whilst instructing has been confined to showing people how to do things, and so this has been mostly concerned with the use of the body.
In many areas this division still exists but in some flight instruction for instance, the two are inseparable. Without an intelligent appreciation of what he is doing with the skills of his eyes, ears, hands and feet, a modern pilot will be unable to reach an adequate level of aviation safety.
Due to the sophistication reached in aviation and its complex equipment and regulations, the need for teaching has never been greater. Therefore the value and presitge of a Flight Instructor will not only depend upon his flying skill, personality and standard of technical knowledge, but also upon his teaching ability.

These notes do not purport to cover all aspects of teaching and learning. They are intended as thinking guide to the new instructor, and cover many of the aspects involved in the process of teaching and learning in relation to flight training. They will help the flying instructor to understand this need and intelligently used, will reflect upon the standard of the pilots he helps to train.

The purpose of this book is to provide information, help, and guidance to anyone starting work as a flying instructor, or working towards this qualification. It is intended to complement the Flight Instructor Course by focusing on the practicalities of actually doing the job, rather than on the content of each individual flying lesson. Subjects including organisation and planning, professionalism, and interaction with students are covered, with the use of examples from real-life situations to offer sound, practical advice. General information on how to use time effectively and how to ensure that students get the most from their lessons is offered, as well as specific details such as suggestions for topics of conversation to hold during a particularly quiet trial lesson!

This book will equip new instructors with the knowledge gained from the experience of doing the job, before they have had the opportunity to gain this experience for themselves. Clearly and entertainingly written by an experienced instructor, this book should have a place in the flight bag of every new or would-be instructor.
