US Books > Nonfiction > Transportation > Aviation > Piloting & Flight Instruction

This manual covers the oral and practical exams required for pilots of light-sport aircraft (LSA), other ultra light vehicles, and flight instructors of these vehicles, in accordance with the new Sport Pilot License recently mandated by the FAA. Detailed and up-to-date information is provided for both knowledge requirements such as physiological conditions (dehydration, spatial disorientation, and hypoxia), flight planning exercises, and skill requirements for takeoff and landing, bank angles, and airspeed. The tolerances for altitudes, airspeeds, headings, and banks that must be maintained to demonstrate each maneuver successfully are also defined.
