Bush and Mountain Flying


Book Description

This book focuses mainly on highly advanced techniques and skills required to operate safely in remote, challenging and extreme conditions.Any pilot who is looking for training or mentoring in Bush and Mountain Flying skills and techniques should seek it from an appropriately skilled, experienced and knowledgeable pilot in this field and not a flight instructor whose claim to fame is flying around the ¿cabbage patch¿ or only flying charters or airliners. A flight instructor rating does not qualify one as an instant ¿flight guru¿, knowledgeable in all aspects of flying, nor does it make one an appropriately skilled, experienced and knowledgeable pilot in bush and mountain flying. The techniques in this book explore the very edge of the airplane's performance envelope and include flying close to stall speeds at low altitudes and thus are extremely dangerous to inexperienced pilots without the required skills and judgement.




EAA Amateur-Built Aircraft Certification Kit


Book Description

EAA's Amateur-Built Aircraft Certification Kit includes everything you need to register and certify a new experimental amateur-built aircraft. The 15-page Step-by-Step Certification Guide walks you through the entire process from getting an N number to the aircraft inspection and provides clear examples of how to complete each required form. Former EAA staff member and Amateur-Built DAR Joe Norris, who reviewed all of the materials included in the kit, commented, "Whenever I inspect an aircraft for certification, the paperwork is what causes delays more often than anything on the aircraft. This guide will make a homebuilder's inspection go a lot easier."The certification kit also includes all FAA forms, Experimental sticker (in black), data plate, and a convenient placard decal sheet.

This official aviation publication presents suggestions and safety-related recommendations to assist amateur and ultralight builders in developing individualized aircraft flight test plans.







Flight Testing Homebuilt Aircraft


Book Description

Now that it's built, how well will it fly? Flight Testing Homebuilt Aircraft tells how to test such aircraft systematically and safely, with professional results. It defines flight testing as a four-phase step-by-step process of learning the limitations of an aircraft; defining and eliminating aircraft problems; and determining aircraft capability and optimum flying techniques - all with minimum risk to pilot and machine. With straightforward description and more than 80 illustrations, the book teaches builders to use this process to design thorough, safe flight tests customized to specific aircraft in specific testing environments.
