Aviation Publishers is pleased to announce the release of Flying Beyond, 1st Edition.
This long-‐awaited commercial ground school textbook is the perfect educational segue from the highly-‐acclaimed and popular textbook, From the Ground Up. Built on the format and content of the latter celebrated title, Flying Beyond sets readers en route into the higher standards required of pilots seeking to step up to a commercial licence from the private pilot licence that they would already possess.
Authored by experienced and respected Canadian ground school instructor, Chris Hobbs, Flying Beyond provides complete and informative content that greatly exceeds what students need to know to pass their commercial written examination. While fulfilling this latter requirement conscientiously, Flying Beyond is also written to take students forward on a career path as highly-‐skilled, knowledgeable, and thoroughly-‐ educated professional aviators.
The topics in Flying Beyond are presented in the order given in Transport Canada’s syllabus. Subjects include: Human Factors (Psychological and Physiological), Theory of Flight, Airframes and Engines, Aircraft Systems, Flight Instruments, Meteorology, Weather Reports and Forecasting, Pilot Navigation and Radio Navigation, Flight Operations, Air Law, and more.
Each chapter is enhanced with compelling, scenario-‐based, anecdotes that serve as excellent “real-‐world” learning tools that put subject matter into greater perspective for readers. Furthermore, examples abound throughout the book to further consolidate the understanding of subject matter. Finally, frequently placed “exam hints” alert students to pay special attention to the nuances of content so as to be better prepared to take the written commercial test.
Whether seeking to acquire the basic knowledge necessary to earn a commercial licence, or setting out on a career path in aviation, Flying Beyond serves both needs comprehensively.
For students seeking more, Flying Beyond provides it: beyond what you learned for your private licence, and deeply into the broader knowledge-‐base required to get your commercial licence.
From the Ground Up is recognized as the definitive source to get students aloft and well into their careers as aviators. Now, Flying Beyond is the conclusive stepping-‐stone to advance those students, and take them further afield into the professional realms of the industry.
