The Student Pilot Manual Volume 2: Airframe, Systems, Engines and Instruments

If you find yourself peering up at the sky as a plane roars past, there is a good chance you have caught the aviation bug and are fascinated by anything that flies. The Student Pilot Manual provides the perfect foundation for aspiring pilots to take the next step on their aviation journey. Volume 2 of this series contains three important topics that all pilots must master: Airframe and Systems explores the main parts of a plane and some of the systems hidden inside. Each of these parts and systems work together to keep the plane in the air, with even the smallest part playing an important role during a flight. Engines takes a close look at the piston engine, which must constantly spin the plane's propeller. But it cannot do this important task alone, with several support systems needed to help keep the engine running smoothly. Instruments explores all the information that is needed to fly a plane safely, and how it is shown to the pilot in the cockpit. Even though technology has changed how some instruments work, the same critical flight information is needed to fly a plane. Whether you're just starting on your aviation journey or have been flying for many years, The Student Pilot Manual will help you learn about the wonderful world of aviation.
