Airbus A320 Simulator Training. Pilot Handbook


Book Description

Aircraft simulators are an integral part of every pilot's professional life. Within these simulators, pilots learn to manage abnormal operations, not just considering mechanical failures, but any situation that could compromise flight safety. Airline pilots are required to demonstrate their performance in a simulator every six or twelve months, depending on the airline. In these simulator sessions, pilots are evaluated not only on their maneuvers and flight management but also on teamwork, leadership, and decision-making abilities in extremely critical situations. Additionally, simulator sessions are instructional, where an instructor provides specific training to each crew, aiming to enhance their knowledge in managing abnormal operations. A simulator can become your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on the approach you take. In this work, you will learn to give the simulator its rightful place, and it will become your best ally, as that is its ultimate purpose.

Dreams of Flight


Book Description

General aviation encompasses all the ways aircraft are used beyond commercial and military flying: private flights, barnstormers, cropdusters, and so on. Authors Janet and Michael Bednarek have taken on the formidable task of discussing the hundred-year history of this broad and diverse field by focusing on the most important figures and organizations in general aviation and the major producers of general aviation aircraft and engines. This history examines the many airplanes used in general aviation, from early Wright and Curtiss aircraft to the Piper Cub and the Lear Jet. The authors trace the careers of birdmen, birdwomen, barnstormers, and others who shaped general aviation—from Clyde Cessna and the Stinson family of San Antonio to Olive Ann Beech and Paul Poberezny of Milwaukee. They explain how the development of engines influenced the development of aircraft, from the E-107 that powered the 1929 Aeronca C-2, the first affordable personal aircraft, to the Continental A-40 that powered the Piper Cub, and the Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turboprop used on many aircraft after World War II. In addition, the authors chart the boom and bust cycle of general aviation manufacturers, the rising costs and increased regulations that have accompanied a decline in pilots, the creation of an influential general aviation lobby in Washington, and the growing popularity of “type” clubs, created to maintain aircraft whose average age is twenty-eight years. This book provides readers with a sense of the scope and richness of the history of general aviation in the United States. An epilogue examining the consequences of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, provides a cautionary note.
