The flight control system of an Airbus A320 is one of the most advanced achievements in aeronautical engineering. It results from the integration of a set of functions and features developed within a main system that facilitates navigation, aircraft maneuverability, flight resource management, and complete operational autonomy.An A320 pilot must thoroughly understand the operation of the flight control system to maximize its capabilities and advantages. These are features that few ...

Why do airplanes fly? How is speed measured? What does an air traffic controller do? What are runway markings? What is fear of flying? Who invented the airplane? What is turbulence? What are clouds? How do turbines work? How do pilots navigate? How do you become an airplane pilot? All the questions you can imagine about aviation will be answered in this book. A book full of aeronautical curiosities that invite aviation enthusiasts to learn all the secrets of this fascinating world....

The 101 Flight Lessons collection has been created to cover the main theoretical concepts of the most relevant aeronautical subjects at each stage of the career of a pilot, air traffic controller, and passenger cabin crew member.101 Flight Lessons includes a summary of the main aeronautical topics on subjects such as: meteorology, aerodynamics, flight instruments, maneuvers, structures and aircraft, engines, regulations, airports, and a set of lessons that every pilot, whether in t...

One of the most flown aircraft in the world. A masterpiece of engineering that has set a milestone in the history of aviation. In this work, you will learn everything related to this outstanding aircraft and its creator, a pioneer in aviation history who forever shaped the industry, William Boeing.You will explore everything about the operation of a Boeing 737, including all the aircraft systems and each button and knob on its panels. You'll delve into its executive and presidentia...

The panels of a commercial aircraft are usually a mystery to some pilots who want to enjoy these wonderful works of aeronautical engineering. Understanding the operation of each knob, each button, each indicator and each part of the aircraft panels seems to be an almost impossible mission for those who have not been lucky enough to take the aircraft habilitation course.In this work, we will make it simple and easy. A book dedicated exclusively to the panels of the fabulous Boeing 7...

With the constant technological advance in the aeronautical industry, the different communication processes have evolved over time. However, the importance of proper communication between the different actors in air operations remains one of the most important pillars of safety.Aeronautical Communications proposes that all pilots and air operators, regardless of their area of work, carry out communication processes in a standard way according to the requirements of ICAO (internatio...

Flying has been man's desire since the dawn of mankind when he contemplated the flying of birds looking up at the sky. Millennia passed until he finally decided to dare to stop contemplating the birds and start his passion and primitive instinct of conqueror, but this time the terrain to conquer would be much more difficult, the sky. The success of pioneers such as the Wright brothers, unleashed a new and exciting activity that led to a succession of inexhaustible experiments with a single...

Aviation has always been a challenge for humans. From the Wright brothers' first flights to modern state-of-the-art aircraft, every technological advance has required more than just engineering: it has demanded a pilot capable of keeping calm, making the right decisions, and acting with precision in the most critical moments. However, at the heart of every flight beats not only the aircraft's engine, but also the pilot's brain. That extraordinary organ that regulates our emotions, memory, ...

This work has been developed to bring the main aeronautical content to aviation enthusiasts, students and future pilots and to anyone passionate about the aeronautical field who wants to learn a little more about this fascinating world of civil aviation. We will learn the main theoretical concepts of aviation. A summary of each aeronautical area, explained in a simple and pleasant way to read, but at the same time, developing the most relevant content in a professional and highly education...

The objective of this book is to bring each reader to the systems of an A320 to study their normal operation and to understand what is happening in the airplane while it is operated by the pilots from the cockpit. We will begin with the generalities of the airplane, then we will continue to advance through their systems, starting from the simplest to finishing in the most complex. It should be noted that in this manual we will cover all the contents of the normal operation of each system, ...

“Welcome to a new edition of the most successful collection of aeronautical books in America. At the request of readers around the world, we have created this magnificent literary work about everything that a pilot in training must learn about one of the most flown aircraft in the world, the magnificent Boeing 737. With the collaboration of Captain Aldo Tatoli, with more than 30 years of airline experience, we have developed an educational manual based on the models of B737-700, B737-800 a...

On January 16, 2007, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued revisedregulatory material relating to the operation of all aircraft on flights with the potentialfor extended time diversions. As a result, the term ETOPS has been redefined as“Extended Operations” and now includes the operation of all transport aircraft,regardless of the number of engines (except All- Cargo operations of airplanes withmore than 2-engines), further than specific t...
