Whether pilots are learning aviation for the first time, or filling gaps in their personal knowledge on the subject, From the Ground Up USA offers them the most comprehensive package of aeronautical information in one extensive and award-winning form. Often referred to as the "Bible" for ground school flight training - and required reading for student pilots in many countries around the world - From the Ground Up USA delves deeply into the full range of aviation topics, some of which are: Theory of Flight, Engines, Airports and Airspace, Regulations, Navigation, Weather, Communications, Airmanship, Human Factors, and Air Safety. Over half a century has passed since it first appeared as the publication of choice for fledgling flight school enterprises. Its longevity and strength of reputation make this book an accurate and extensive repository for aeronautical information and an essential resource for any aviation library.
More comprehensive and informative than the FAA's AIM, From the Ground Up USA offers a wide range of advice, information, techniques and instruction on practically every aspect of flying, supported with beautiful full-color illustrations and photographs throughout. From the Ground Up USA can be used as textbook material for students working towards their pilot license, or as reference material for the flight libraries of experienced professionals.
A sample Private Pilot FAA Knowledge Exam concludes the book to ensure readers they have completed a comprehensive ground school course by reading this book cover-to-cover.
