Book Description

This book is an in-depth look at the ins and outs of the commercial aviation industry as it stands today. Featuring a detailed explanation of the various security programs that are in place today, it will help the reader understand the policies and procedures that have been established to keep the skies of our nation safe. For those who are also interested in learning some of the basics of the commercial aviation industry, it also features detailed descriptions of common terms and practices used by commercial airlines and airports today. Among other things, eaders will learn how airports make money, how to identify different commercial aircraft as well as dozens of various terms in the Glossary.

It takes the reader through a history of the industry, from its inception to the changes wrought by deregulation in the late 1970s through the current era. For those with very little knowledge of the industry to old hands, there is something in here for everyone.

• Greg Gayden has over 15 years of experience in the aviation security field, working with the various rules and regulations that are in place to ensure the integrity of the commercial aviation system. Gayden also operates a website devoted to commercial aviation, airplane spotting, and photography.

• The Secret of Flight: Understanding Why it is Possible to Fly

  From the smallest gnat to the largest aircraft, all things that fly obey the same aerodynamic principles. Explains the principles of aeronautics in terms, descriptions, and illustrations that make sense - without complicated mathematics.

• The Vortex and the Jet: Beauty and Mystery of Flight

  This open access book is an introduction for the lay reader to understand the basics of flight. It gives great introduction to the inner working of the modern jet engine and explains the airflow phenomena in plain language.

• Flight Physics - Models, Techniques and Technologies (K. Volkov)

  Focuses on the synthesis of the fundamental disciplines and practical applications involved in the investigation, description, and analysis of aircraft flight including applied aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, flight performance, stability, and control.

• Quest for Performance: The Evolution of Modern Aircraft

  This book traces the technical development of the airplane from a curiosity at the beginning of World War I to the highly useful machine of today. Included are significant aircraft that incorporated important technical innovations, etc.

• Bayesian Methods in the Search for MH370 (Samuel Davey, et al.)

  This book demonstrates how nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian time series estimation methods were used to produce a probability distribution of potential MH370 flight paths, which was used to define the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean.

• Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering (Manuel Soler)

  The book is divided into three parts, namely: Introduction, The Aircraft, and Air Transportation, Airports, and Air Navigation, applying theoretical knowledge to solve practical cases using academic and industrial software, such as Python and XFLR5.

• Advances in Flight Control Systems (Maria Agneta Balint)

  This book provides a comprehensive coverage of advanced and modern topics in flight control not yet reflected by other books, includes contributions from an international group of experts in their respective specialised fields, largely from industry.

• Modeling Flight (Joseph R. Chambers)

  It describes the issues that must be considered when transferring subscale results to full-scale application, focuses on the applications of the techniques to generic configurations for general research as well as to specific aircraft and spacecraft configurations.

• Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA, David Soucie)

  This book is a great study guide for current pilots and for potential pilots who are interested in applying for their first license. It provides information on every topic needed to qualify for and excel in the field of aviation.

• Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook (FAA)

  This book addresses this safety-crucial topic and in studying this handbook, pilots and Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) will gain the necessary knowledge on the subject of aircraft weight and balance, in preparation for safe flight and maintenance operations.

• Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA)

  This book is a technical reference manual for professional pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR), with coverage of instrument charts and procedures for IFR takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing.

• Notices To Airmen (NOTAM'S): Notam's Illustrated

  Everything you will ever need to know about Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) is contained in this book, Notam's Illustrated, written by air traffic control specialist Jerome Miller who, as part of his job, issues notams. Don't expect it to read like a novel.

• Flight Simulation Books (Kevin Savetz, et al)

  A collection of 21 Classical Flight Simulation Books available on the web. Everything there is available with permission of the copyright holders. More than 2,200 printed pages have been digitized into 800+ web pages.
