Traditionally known as the "red maneuvers book," this handbook is one of a series that has been the standard of the industry for more than 40 years, and complies with current practical test standards and regulations. This Second Edition of ASA's Low-Wing version of the Visualized Flight Maneuvers series is an excellent learning and teaching aid for instructors and students. It covers all maneuvers for Private, Commercial, and Flight Instructor Certificates — including the new maneuvers from the 2002 Practical Test Standards: steep spirals, and the 180-degree power-off approach. Each maneuver is depicted according to type of aircraft in which the lesson will take place; each states the objective of the task and lists the practical test standards required. This handbook is fully illustrated with fold-out pages showing each maneuver complete on one wide-page spread (11-1/2" x 8"), so the reader absorbs all the visual and textual information at once.

This comprehensive, illustrated manual is an excellent learning and teaching aid for instructors and students, covering all the flight maneuvers required for Private, Sport, Commercial, and Flight Instructor certification. Each action is depicted in detail according to type of aircraft in which the lesson will take place, states the objective of the task, and lists the practical test standards required. Compact and easy to carry, with spiral binding for easy access to the fold-out pages, the book features illustrated fold-outs that show each maneuver step-by-step so pilots understand what they should be looking for outside the cockpit window. It contains full descriptions of stalls, slips, and ground reference maneuvers, as well as short, soft, and crosswind takeoffs and landings. Included are suggested checklists for everything from preflight to takeoffs and landings, performance, and checkrides, and an easy-to-use index allows pilots to quickly refer to any desired task. The latest FAA practical test standards, regulations, and procedures have also been incorporated into this new edition.
