Курс теоретической подготовки к экзаменам для получения лицензии JAA/EASA PPL. На английском языке.This book comprises two main sections: ‘Principles of Flight’ and ‘Aeroplane Performance’.For those who fly, a thorough knowledge of the Principles of Flight – also referred to as Aerodynamics - is essential if they are fully to appreciate the flight characteristics of their aircraft, and become safe and proficient pilots.One of the main aims of the Principles of Flight section of the book, therefore, is to provide both student and qualified pilots with study material which will enable them to learn as effectively and enjoyably as possible the scientific principles upon which flight itself depends, and to acquire an understanding of the nature of the physical forces in play when an aeroplane is being manoeuvred.Complementary to the study of the Principles of Flight, in terms of acquiring an understanding of the way an aeroplane flies, is the study of Aeroplane Performance, which is the subject of the second section of this book. The Subject of Aeroplane Performance deals with all the main phases of flight: take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing. In Aeroplane Performance, it is not only aerodynamic factors but also engine power and thrust considerations, along with atmospheric conditions, which must be borne in mind in order to explain an aeroplane’s overall performance.PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT
