Shu_downunder Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I wonder if there is a reading list for starters (and further learning of course)? Areas cover: - Aerodynamics - Meteorology - Airplane mechanics - Maintenance - Regulations - Communication and navigation - anything else? I've read a couple of books including Mike Busch's Engines and Airplane Ownership 1. I really find it's necessary to read more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 If you want to start Training check with a good school. If you want a bit of idea what its at, read "Fate is the Hunter". Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgmwa Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Have a look in the Resources Section on this website. There used to be a very comprehensive set of tutorial notes by John (?) on the old website. Can't recall his name now. Don't know what happened to them.

Garfly Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 That'd be John Brandon (see post above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpacro Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 1. Very informative free handbooks from the FAA at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation especially the Airplane Flying Handbook, Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. 2. Try the online courses at USA’s AOPA - register for free and take the free course e.g. https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/online-learning/online-courses/essential-aerodynamics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgmwa Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 John Brandon's tutorials still seem to be on the site: https://www.recreationalflying.com/tutorials/john-brandons-flying-tutorials/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfly Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Yes, the link above is from that series, located in the sidebar menu: "Resources >> Tutorials". Section 6.3 seemed a likely candidate for "anything else"; key information which may not get its due in the PPL subjects listed in the original post.

facthunter Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Using aileron to recover when stalled. It doesn't work. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgmwa Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Yes, Looks like the full set is numbered 1.1 to 7.4 in the Tutorials section and includes that one at 6.3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
