Some advanced exercises, generally applicable to the Commercial Pilot Licence, have also been added to provide a complete reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach exercise is discussed in great detail. For example, flying straight and level begins with the exercise in the constant power configuration, and the next sections deal with the same exercise but at selected airspeeds and then with flaps extended. The step-by-step approach to learning uses dozens of illustrations showing the forward view from the cockpit so that the student can anticipate what the straight and level nose attitude should look like when the exercise is put into practice. Entire pages with pictorial and written details then show how the aircraft can be brought to straight and level flight, how it is maintained in that configuration, and what remedial action should be taken if straight and level flight is not being maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement is used throughout the book. Especially for the advanced exercises such as stalling, steep turns and so on. The numerous pictorial displays and detailed explanations are of immense value for flight preparation. The student knows before their exercises commence what to expect, and more importantly, how to deal with mistakes. Drills and standard operating procedures are the back bone of safe flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flight Training Manual lists every set of drills and every procedure that pilots must comply with in light aircraft. Having these in book form enables the student to learn and practise drills and procedures at home rather than stumble through them in flight. There are literally dozens of pages that contain good advice and cautions for novice pilots. The information is provided by highly experienced instructors who have seen the beneficial results for those pilots who complied, and sometimes sad results for those who did not. The Flight Training Manual is consistent with standards and procedures practised in most countries and for that reason it is a very useful document anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waypoints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22328667701330,"sku":"WPFTM","price":104.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/waypoints-nz-the-flight-training-manual-books-waypoints-pilot-shop-0.jpg?v=1721958928"},{"product_id":"vol-01-nz-ppl-aircraft-technical-knowledge","title":"Waypoints Vol 01: NZ PPL Aircraft Technical Knowledge","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/ppl-aircraft-technical-knowledge-principles-of-flight\/id1526915202?itsct=books_box_link\u0026amp;itscg=30200\u0026amp;ls=1\u0026amp;at=1l3vbah\" title=\"Download\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eVolume 1 was written for students who wish to obtain their Private Pilot Licence.

In particular, the RNAV (GNSS) is a rapidly developing type of instrument approach that you will need to become familiar with in the near future, if you don't already.    Part 2 gives a comprehensive coverage of the topics associated with Flight Navigation IFR (Plotting).  The text is based on the assumption that the reader is familiar with the contents of our Waypoints PilotBooks Volume 2, Navigation and Flight Planning .    Appendix 1 towards the end of the book takes the reader through a very searching Sample Examination devoted to Instruments and Navigation Aids.  Appendix 2 is a similar examination on Flight Navigation IFR.  Appendix 3 contains answers to questions posed in Chapter Reviews and Sample Examinations.  When you have successfully answered all the questions in the book you will be very well prepared for the ASL (or other State) examinations.    The principles and applications of Instruments and Navigation Aids are common throughout the world, for this reason Volume 9 is suitable for global use.  However, Flight Navigation IFR is based on New Zealand facilities and charts and may therefore not be completely suitable unless the overseas student has the appropriate documents.","brand":"Waypoints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22328672321618,"sku":"WPVOL09","price":114.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/waypoints-vol-09-nz-the-instrument-rating-manual-books-waypoints-pilot-shop-0.jpg?v=1723168712"},{"product_id":"vol-10-nz-instrument-rating-law","title":"Waypoints Vol 10: NZ Instrument Rating Law","description":"Instrument Rating Law revolves around a number of documents such as Civil Aviation Rules, the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIPNZ), the Civil Aviation Act and a few other legislative documents.  Volume 10 is a manual that covers, in plain language, most of these topics but it cannot be expected to cover them all.  Thus students must have access to the documents, either through access to the internet, through purchase or on loan from their training provider or friends.  Whichever method is used, it is essential that the documents are of the latest edition.    The Instrument Rating Law manual summarises most of the applicable Civil Aviation Rules and goes to considerable lengths explaining the IFR procedures and requirements laid down in the AIPNZ.  Very extensive use is made of diagrams in support of the text.    It is a feature of the aviation industry that rules and regulations are subject to frequent change which requires many amendments to be made to this manual.    Most paragraphs dealing with specific topics start with the official document reference.  For example, Requirement for Alternates is covered in Chapter 3, the text starts with CAR Part 91.405 which means the associated official document is Civil Aviation Rule Part 91.  Or, Terrain Clearance for IFR Flights is covered in Chapter 6 and the text starts with AIPNZ ENR 1.6 para 4.12 which means the Aeronautical Information Publication, En-Route section, page 1.6 para 4.12.  So it is a simple matter for you to read the text in Volume 10 and then refer to the stated reference for the full text.    Instrument Rating Law not only repeats and elaborates on many aspects of rules, regulations and procedures, it also gives practical advice and examples wherever possible.  In this fashion 'the Law' is made more readable, practical and interesting.    As with Volume 5, the Instrument Rating Law manual is orientated towards New Zealand requirements and conditions, this aspect may not suit all overseas students unless some intend to do their subsequent training in New Zealand.  Nevertheless there are many pages that contain material applicable to ICAO countries, in this regard Instrument Rating Law is of substantial value.","brand":"Waypoints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22328672419922,"sku":"WPVOL10","price":104.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/waypoints-vol-10-nz-instrument-rating-law-books-waypoints-pilot-shop-0.jpg?v=1726191558"},{"product_id":"vol-11-nz-basic-turbine-knowledge","title":"Waypoints Vol 11 (A): NZ Basic Turbine Knowledge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Basic Turbine Knowledge - Aeroplane textbook is designed specifically to cover the New Zealand syllabus requirements of AC61-10 Appendix II (Subject 64), and to assist you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the basic functioning and operation of turbine engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this text is to explore the construction of gas turbine engines, the processes involved, and to help to prepare you to safely and efficiently operate aircraft powered by turbine engines.
