Organized in the same order a Student Pilot will progress through the flight training curriculum, the book covers all you need to know and be able to do before the flight, presolo, the postsolo maneuvers, cross-country and night flying. It is a gathering of material used in preflight and postflight briefings and in-flight instruction provided by one of the greatest flight instructors of our time. It also includes a synopsis of what to expect for your FAA Knowledge Exam and checkride. This book is not intended to just help you "get past" the knowledge exam and checkride, but includes the information for use in the day-to-day process of learning to fly airplanes.

A completely integrated 98-page syllabus provides the instructional format for flight instructors and student pilots using both The Student Pilot's Flight Manual and The Flight Instructor’s Manual. It serves as a guide for teaching ground and flight instruction as well as a checklist of student accomplishments from the first flight through the private pilot knowledge and practical tests.

The Ninth Edition is fully revised and updated. Includes an appendix on engines and other systems along with seven color maps. Softcover, illustrated, 8” x 11”, 440 pages.

Significant time is devoted to air traffic control as it is one of the most difficult aspects of flying IFR. Kershner's goal in this manual is to cover the subject in as much detail as possible while remaining uncomplicated.

Airspeeds, expected clearances, and altitudes used are based on high-performance, retractable-gear, four-place, general aviation airplanes unless otherwise noted. Jet and other high-altitude (above 18,000’) IFR operations are left for coverage in other books. Numerous illustrations by the author aid in visualization of the concepts. This book covers everything students need to know to obtain an FAA instrument rating and will be a valuable aid to instructors. Current to the October 2004 Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards.

Softcover, illustrated, 8.5” x 11”, 312 pages.

Written in easy, conversational style, this useful reference progresses from ground school equipment and procedures, to simulators, to real flight. Along the way, the authors cover the physical, psychological and technical preparation needed by pilots to acquire an ATP certificate while maintaining the highest standards of performance.

Although not intended to replace training manuals, Fly the Wing is by itself a course in advanced aviation. With clear explanations and in-depth coverage, it has been described as a full step beyond the normal training handbook. Pilots desiring additional knowledge in the fields of modern flight deck automation, high speed aerodynamics, high altitude flying, speed control, take-offs, and landings in heavy, high performance aircraft, will do well to read and retain this material.
