| Whether you are
learning about aviation for the first time, or filling
gaps in your personal knowledge on the subject, From
the Ground Up offers you the most comprehensive
package of aeronautical information in one complete,
extensive, and award-winning form. Considered required
reading for student pilots in many countries throughout
the world, this book delves deeply into the full range
of aviation topics, including airplane systems, theory
of flight, engines, airports and airspace, regulations
and procedures, air and radio navigation, weather,
communications, airmanship, human factors, and safety.
Over half a century has passed since it first appeared
as the publication of choice for fledgling flight school
enterprises. With such longevity and strength of
reputation, this accurate and extensive repository for
aeronautical information is an essential resource to
form the cornerstone of any aviation library. You'll
find everything you need to know within its covers: a
book taking its name from the only sure way to learn the
fundamentals of flight: from the ground up.
"There is a smoothness and ease-of-reading that
make this book a pleasure to read... everyone out there
should read the engine section, which is excellent and
covers timing, carburetors, magnetos, solid-state
ignitions and even procedures for a backfire during
starting... if you are going to buy a flight manual and
only want to have one around the house, this is the
one." — Private Pilot Magazine
"[From the Ground Up] offers a wide range
of advice and information, technique and instruction, on
practically every aspect of flying — in a single
volume... The level of detail and its easy-going writing
are way ahead of some of the textbooks we're used to,
especially when it comes to radio navigation and
aircraft technical explanations... I found From the
Ground Up so useful that it's becoming part of my
deskside library." —Flyer Magazine
"For 50 years the book From the Ground Up
has been published and is one of the most comprehensive
volumes on the subject of flying and learning to fly...
it can be read right through, from cover to cover, or
can be dipped into for information on specific subjects.
Some aviation books cannot comfortably be used in this
dual role." —International Flight Training News |
