McGraw-Hill Education
English
400 pages
Publisher’s Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. WHAT’S IN STICK AND RUDDER:The invisible secret of all heavier-than-air flight: the Angle of Attack.
What it is, and why it can’t be seen. How lift is made, and what the pilot has to do with it. Why airplanes stall How do you know you’re about to stall? The landing approach. How the pilot’s eye functions in judging the approach.
The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them.”The Spot that does not move.” This is the first statement of this phenomenon. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees.
The elevator and the throttle. One controls the speed, the other controls climb and descent.Which is which? The paradox of the glide. By pointing the nose down less steeply, you descend more steeply. By pointing the nose down more steeply, you can glide further.
