CAE Oxford Aviation Academy. JAA PPL Ground training series - Book 6: Aeroplanes

JAA PPL Ground training series. — CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, 2010. — 358 p.Курс теоретической подготовки к экзаменам для получения лицензии JAA/EASA PPL. На английском языке.The book is intended specifically to meet the needs of the light aeroplane pilot. Its content and self assessment tests satisfy the demands of the theoretical knowledge syllabus of both the JAR-FCL/EASA Private Pilot’s Licence and the United Kingdom National PPL in the subjects of ‘Aircraft (General)’ and ‘Mass and Balance’.
The ‘Aeroplanes’ section of this book satisfies the PPL syllabus for the examination ‘Aircraft (General)’, and covers all of the systems which go to make up a modern light aeroplane: the electrical, electronic, mechanical and hydraulic systems, its flight instruments and its engine, propeller and engine instrumentation. Using this book, you should acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge of your aeroplane’s systems that you will need in order to fly your aeroplane efficiently and safely.
The second section of the book, on ‘Mass & Balance’, covers all the necessary knowledge and principles that the pilot needs to master in order to check that his aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced for safe and efficient operations.AEROPLANES
