The JAR-FCL Air Law syllabus covers international Air Law and is not confined to the law of any one state. Thus, the main reference documents for this book are JAR-OPS1 and ICAO documents and annexes to relevant international conventions and agreements. The book contains a complete bibliography of references.

This book covers eight of the systems which compromise the essential “organs” of the modern aircraft. Every part of the aircraft is covered in detail in an easily read and understandable manner from the basic structure, the hydraulic, fuel, air-conditioning, anti-icing and flight control systems, to the emergency equipment and landing gear.

Starting at the very basic level and coached in simple yet accurate terms, this book makes easy work of Direct Current and Alternating Current and leads the student pilot gently into the Theory of Radio Propagation.

This book deals with engine-design and engine operation considerations as well as with the recognition of engine malfunctions. The text is easily read and assimilated with numerous coloured diagrams to help the student understand the more difficult aspects of the subject.

Deals with Flight Instruments, Warning and Recording Equipment and Automatic Flight Control Systems. Each of these sections aims to pass on, in a flowing, easily read style, all of the theory the student pilot will need to interpret the instruments of any type of aircraft.

This book covers all of the necessary knowledge and principles to enable the pilot, and future captain, to check that an aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced for safe and effcient operation. ‘Performance’ covers the theory required to operate an aircraft safely in all phases of flight: take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing.

The practical flight planning instruction contained in this book is based upon aircraft such as the Beechcraft Baron, the Seneca III, the Boeing 737-400 and Airbus. Additional aspects of Flight Planning such as the weather factors are also taken into account.

This subject teaches the student pilot to appreciate the limitations of the human body operating in an aviation environment as well as dealing with all the aspects of the decision making process relevant to the pilot.

‘Meteorology’ aims at imparting to the student pilot a better understanding of all aspects of this science, as it applies to flight operations. A thorough knowledge of meteorology and weather forecasting contributes greatly to flight safety. Such knowledge is essential to a pilots understanding of how weather-related, in-flight hazards arise, how they should be predicted, avoided or dealt with safely.

Every aspect of classical air navigation is covered in the ‘General Navigation’ manual from basic pilot navigation to advanced plotting. The many coloured diagrams and maps will help the future professional pilot to master this absorbing subject which many students, in the past, have found to be the greatest hurdle to passing the ATPL theory examinations.

This book covers the radio navigation facilities available for the navigation of aircraft during departure, en-route and approach, as well as the radar facilities used for the control of aircraft and for in-flight safety. It also covers the lastest Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Operators of aircraft must ensure that they and their employees, both aircrew and groundcrew, comply with all procedures required by national and international law, and that crews have access to all information essential to the safe conduct of flights and associated activities, whether in the air on on the ground. This book deals with ICAO annexes, JAR-OPS and NAT MNPS relevant documents.

Topics covered in this book range from basic aerodynamic theory to supersonic flight. The book aims to help professional pilots master the fundamental principles upon which flight depends and which are essential to a full understanding of the flight characteristics of whichever aircraft they may operate. Mastery of this subject is an essential attribute of the safe and proficient pilot.

Radio Telephony communications lie at the base of procedural flying in the professional aviation environment. Proficiency in RT Communications is fundamental to becoming a skilled professional pilot. This manual, and the accompanying CDROMs, aims to teach the fundamentals of both VFR and IFR RT Communications in order to prepare the student pilot for both the JAA ATPL theoretical examinations and for their practical flying training.

This additional volume contains extra information and other reference material for use with this Oxford ATPL Study Manual Series.
