Collection of handbooks, conference papers, datasets and reference sources in applied science, technology and engineering. Contains significant resources in the aviation and aerospace industries.
Covers the rules governing the minimum levels of performance which must be attained by every type of public transport aeroplane, including weight, altitude and temperature, take-off and landing distance, cruise flight level and speed, and descent angle and rate.
Introduces flight performance analysis techniques that enable readers to determine performance and flight capabilities of aircraft. Flight performance analysis for prop-driven and jet aircraft is explored. MATLAB programming for performance analysis is included, and coverage of modern aircraft types is emphasized.
A definitive source that communicates the complexities of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering for both the beginner and the experienced pilot.
This book connects the principles of aerodynamics and physics to their practical applications in a flight environment. Readers will learn about atmosphere, altitude, airspeed, lift, drag, applications for jet and propeller aircraft, stability controls, takeoff, landing, and other maneouvers.
Free downloadable copy of visual flight rules for aviation in Australia. Covers knowing your rules and responsibilities, planning your flight, flying your aircraft or helicopter, radio communication procedures, decision-making, hazards and dealing with emergency situations.
Aerodynamics is the study of how an aircraft is able to fly, how it is controlled, and the effects of the flight environment. It also encompasses the transition from ground to air and air to ground and the effects of wind, turbulence and windshear. This volume covers the CASA syllabus from BAK through PPL to CPL.
Introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. Covers most of the knowledge areas applicable to pilot certification.
Beginning with a summary of the mechanics of flight, this book goes on to cover various aspects such as air and airflow, subsonic speeds, aerofoils, thrust, level flight, gliding, landing, performance, manoeuvres, stability, control, flight at transonic speeds and at supersonic speeds; and space flight.
A book that helps pilots by introducing nine principles for operating glass cockpit aircraft. Each principle provides a building block for a simplified, straightforward, and disciplined approach to operating increasingly complex aircraft safely and effectively in demanding operational environments.
A manual produced to meet the demands of the aviation training industry for a reference text suited to those preparing for their written examination for the Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL).
A book intended for the guidance of procedures specialists and describes the essential areas and obstacle clearance requirements for the achievement of safe, regular instrument flight operations.
Dictionary of laws governing national air conventions, international aviation and aerospace conventions and agreements, and Australian civil aviation administration.
A comprehensive volume covering regulation of air operations, registration and marking of aircraft, airworthiness requirements, licensing of maintenance personnel, maintenance of aircraft, aircraft equipment and documents, aircraft noise, state aircraft and the operation of aircraft in terms of legislation related to air operators, flight crew and instructors, duties and responsibilities before and during flight.
Contains significant datasets for the aerospace industry, the ability to export graphs from those datasets, and has standard aviation equations inbuilt into the database.
Provides current CASA standards - pilot guides, airworthiness, safety management, dangerous goods, etc. in full-text. Includes: rules and procedures, manuals and forms, standards and legislation covering the people and businesses involved in the aviation industry in Australia. Also includes media releases and Flight Safety magazine.
The specialized agency of the United Nations that coordinates the principles and techniques of international air navigation, and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth.
Australian board for the investigation into aviation accidents and safety in Australian airspace. Responsible for investigating accidents and transport safety occurrences involving Australian-registered civilian aircraft, commercial shipping and rail operations in Australia. Also participate in overseas investigations involving Australian-registered aircraft and providing support to international counterpart investigation agencies.
