Weight Shift Control Aircraft Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge EBOOK
)
Product Description
The Weight Shift Control Aircraft Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge is for ultralight, sport and private pilots flying trikes and weight-shift control (WSC) light-sport aircraft (LSA).
Written by Sport Pilot expert, Paul Hamilton, this handbook is inspired by the FAA "Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, "8083-25A" but written specifically for the trike pilot.
And just like the FAA handbook has become required reading for all airplane pilots, this will quickly become required reading for all trike pilots. Providing basic knowledge essential for all trike pilots—from beginning student pilots to those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates—this book introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge needed as they progress through pilot training. Studying this book, pilots gain the required knowledge to earn a certificate and understand aerodynamic theory associated with trike flight.
The book begins with a basic introduction to flying, including the history of flight, the role of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), criteria for earning the various pilot certificates, how to select a flight school and instructor, and the tests associated with earning a pilot certificate. Subjects covered include aircraft structure, principles and aerodynamics of flight, flight controls, aircraft systems, flight instruments, flight manuals and documents, weight and balance, aircraft performance, weather theory, aviation weather services, airport operations, airspace, navigation, aero-medical factors, and aeronautical decision-making.
This 2012 edition reflects the latest aviation industry procedures, equipment, techniques and regulations. It is a key reference for all the information necessary to operate a weight-shift control aircraft and for passing the FAA Knowledge Exam and Practical Test (checkride). Newly illustrated with hundreds of full-color drawings and photographs! Softcover, 8.25"x10.75", 320 pages.

Just passed my written exam sport pilot WSC
Posted by Fred Snyder on 17th May 2013
This book is well written and jammed pack with all the information you need. I also study the AIM, Weight shift control FAA manuals before hearing about this book. Paul did a great job of putting together the information you need to know.
Thanks for a great book, I feel my money was well spent!
