Air Traffic Management
This textbook is designed for undergraduate students studying airspace engineering, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students studying air transport management. It will also be very helpful for the training of air traffic control officers.
Air Pilots Manual - Flying Training
Best book for teaching you how to fly the plane.
Say Again, Please: A Pilots Guide to Radio Communications
Talking on an aviation radio and understanding air traffic control (ATC) instructions can be one of the most intimidating aspects of flight training. In Say Again, Please Bob Gardner explains how the ATC system works and teaches pilots what to say, what to expect to hear, how to interpret and react to clearances and instructions, and understand the chatter of the other aircraft sharing your airspace.
Air Traffic Controller Test Feast Preparation
Air traffic control and multinational cooperation is a special combination you only find at Eurocontrol.The First European Air Traffic Controller Test (FEAST) is the first challenge you will face prior to your education.Considering air traffic control and organisational specifics with this book you get an insight into the applied elements of the selection process.
Fundamentals of Air Traffic Control
Appropriate for both future air traffic controllers and for pilots who need a better understanding of the air traffic control system, this text is the only college-level textbook to explain the „hows" and „whys" of the system. Michael Nolans FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL presents a history of air traffic control, with a strong emphasis on the logic that has guided its development.
European Air Traffic Management
European Air Traffic Management: Principles, Practice and Research is a single source of reference on the key subject areas of ATM within Europe. It brings together material that was previously unobtainable, hidden within impenetrable technical documents or dispersed across disparate sources.
The Future of Air Traffic Control: Human Operators and Automation
Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panels first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system.
Air Traffic Management: Economics, Regulation and Governance
Air Traffic Management: Economics Regulation and Governance provides the latest insights on approaches and issues surrounding the economic regulation and governance of air traffic management (ATM). The book begins by explaining what ATM is, showing its importance within the aviation industry.
Behind The Flight Deck Door: Insider Knowledge About Everything You have Ever Wanted to Ask A Pilot
Ever wondered what goes on inside the cockpit of a passenger plane? Ever wanted to know how a jet engine works or what happens if a plane is struck by lightning? Behind the Flight Deck Door provides insider knowledge about everything you have ever wanted to ask a pilot.
Flight Theory and Aerodynamics: A Practical Guide for Operational Safety
Now in its Fourth Edition, Flight Theory and Aerodynamics is the classic textbook that connects the theory and physics of flight science to what a pilot experiences in the cockpit. While other books on the market are designed for engineering students, Flight Theory and Aerodynamics is written for students with little mathematical background, using basic alebra and trigonometry to explain the basic principles of aerodynamics and physics. Concepts covered include atmosphere, altitude, airspeed, lift, drag, applications for jet and propellor aircraft, stability controls, takeoff, landing, and other maneuvers. The Fourth Edition includes updated graphics and new pedagogy like learning objectives, real world example vignettes, and key concept summaries to help engage students. End of chapter review questions and online instructor resources help reinforce understanding of the topics discussed.
Flight Dynamics: Second Edition
An updated and expanded new edition of an authoritative book on flight dynamics and control system design for all types of current and future fixed-wing aircraft. Since it was first published, Flight Dynamics has offered a new approach to the science and mathematics of aircraft flight, unifying principles of aeronautics with contemporary systems analysis. Now updated and expanded, this authoritative book by award-winning aeronautics engineer Robert Stengel presents traditional material in the context of modern computational tools and multivariable methods. Special attention is devoted to models and techniques for analysis, simulation, evaluation of flying qualities, and robust control system design.
Flight Simulation
Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training.
