Mass and Balance covers the factors governing the loading of an aeroplane to ensure that the longitudinal centre of gravity and mass are within the structural and performance limits. This volume has been written to give you a good understanding of the effects of adding or subtracting a mass from an aeroplane, or moving a mass within an aeroplane, through the use of explanation and worked examples. It enables you to understand the importance of ensuring that the aeroplane for which you are responsible is correctly loaded and trimmed for flight and ground operations.

• Definition and Terminology
• Limits
• Loading
• Centre of Gravity

The JAR—FCL has adopted the UK CAA Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 696 for Mass and Balance examination purposes. This volume details three generic aeroplanes, single engine piston aeroplane, a multi-engine piston aeroplane, and medium range twin jet.

Operational Procedures include the requirements for the issue of an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), Flight Operations and Planning, Low Visibility Operations, and Transoceanic Flight. A significant part of the volume covers Special Operational Procedures and Hazards such as icing, fire, wind shear, wake turbulence, pressurisation failure, and the carriage of dangerous goods.

• Operator
• Air Operations Certificate
• Flight Operations
• Aerodrome Operating Minima
• Low Visibility Operations
• Special Operational
• Procedures and Hazards
• Transoceanic and Polar Flight

Remember that this text is a study guide and is not to be used as an operational reference as JAR OPS-1 is a "living" document that is regularly amended.

Weather has a major bearing on the outcome of any flight. There have been great strides in the science of meteorology from the early days of flight and is very relevant to the pilots of today. The learning objectives for the JAR ATPL (A) examination require an understanding of the fundamentals of meteorology such as the effects of pressure, density, and temperature in the atmosphere before studying stability, cloud formation, and precipitation. Since wind is a critical element for flight planning and the operation of the aircraft, it is discussed in detail in this volume. The text also covers meteorological hazards to aviation such as thunderstorms, icing, wind shear, and turbulence. The interpretation of meteorological messages, synoptic, and upper wind charts is also discussed.

• The Atmosphere
• Wind
• Thermodynamics
• Clouds and Fog
• Precipitation
• Air Masses and Fronts
• Pressure System
• Climatology
• Flight Hazards
• Meteorological Information

Since the Airline Transport Pilot may be required to operate anywhere in the world, this volume also includes an extensive section on global and regional climatology.

Powerplant covers the syllabus for the JAR-FCL 021 exam paper. This volume gives the reader an insight into the construction, function, and operation of both piston and gas turbine engines. For examination purposes, the engines as described are to be considered 'generic', in reality each manufacturer will achieve the same objectives outlined in the text by different designs. Therefore, these notes equip the reader with the knowledge to undertake with confidence an engine manufacturer's course or type rating course which specializes in a particular design.

• Piston Engine
• Turbine
• Engine Construction
• Engine Systems
• Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

Airframes & Systems, Electrics, Powerplant, and Emergency Equipment (ASEPE) - Aeroplanes, subject 021, covers a broad swathe of information that is examined in one paper. To make this information manageable, the 021 subject is broken down into three volumes; these are Airframes & Systems [which incorporates Emergency Equipment], Electrics, and Powerplant.

One of the fundamental aspects of aircraft cockpit design is how to present flight and navigation data to the crew. The presentation of any information can be in analogue, digital, or electronic form, but in all cases it is up to the crew to interpret and act on the information given. This same data can be supplied to automatic flight control systems, relieving the pilot of hand flying the aircraft, but bringing with it the obligation to monitor what the aircraft is doing. This task can be particularly onerous because the pilot is effectively out of the loop and the aircraft performs with flawless regularity.

• Flight Instruments
• Automatic Flight Control Systems
• Warning and Recording Equipment
• Powerplant and System Monitoring Instruments

The pilot however, must always be alert and ready to take control of the aeroplane. For all these reasons, the pilot must have a thorough understanding of aircraft instrumentation and automatic flight control systems. This volume provides an in-depth knowledge of the operating principles behind, and the value of, all the most common aircraft instrumentation systems.

Aircraft Performance provides a concise but readable set of notes which covers the majority of the JAR syllabus, while emphasizing the operational significance of aircraft performance. To enable this book to stand alone, fundamental mathematics, principles of flight, and engine theory are given in the initial chapters. These chapters are written to either introduce the fundamental theoretical knowledge required to support the main performance chapters.

• Single-Engine Aeroplanes - Not certified under JAR/FAR 25 (Performance Class B)
• Multi-Engine Aeroplanes - Not certified under JAR/FAR 25 (Performance Class B)
• Aeroplanes certified under JAR/FAR 25 (Performance Class A)

Each chapter contains diagrams and worked examples to aid understanding. It finishes with JAR type questions to both check understanding and familiarise you with the type of question likely to be found in the JAR examination.
