Flight Training Video Series:

#1. Principles of Flight

ATP's Flight Training Video Series, based on the Flight Training Manual, has been created by experienced flight instructors and airline pilots, and is especially useful for the primary phase of flight training, both for the Recreational Licence, and the Private Pilot licence. This, the first in the series of ten videos, concentrates on the basic physics of flight as it applies to light aircraft. Bernoulli's Theorem of lift is explained as it relates to wings, elevators, ailerons, flaps, and rudder. Numerous examples are shown, with exceptionally clear graphic illustrations, in-flight photography, and models.

There are ten ½-hour videos in this series:
