In the last seven years, many of the regulations regarding civil aviation have changed. This new revised edition of the standard reference used in aviationflight schools includes all the latest JAA regulations and requirements, giving aspiring pilots what they need to pass the JAA exam, while also keeping flight operators fully briefed on the newest JAA rulings. Divided into three parts, the book covers the aerodynamic theory for each phase of flight, scheduled performance theory, and practical aspects of aeroplane performance. With 622 test questions and answers, as well as 25 consolidation exercises, spread over 18 chapters, here is the premier study guide for pilots in training.
