FAA Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flying Handbook
FAA Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flying Handbook now available at Adventure Productions trikepilotstore.com.
The FAA Weight-Shift Control (WSC) Aircraft Flying Handbook introduces the basic pilot knowledge and skills that are essential for pilot WSC aircraft. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that is needed as they progress in their pilot training. This handbook is for student pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced sport pilot and private pilot certificates flying weight-shift control light-sport aircraft.
Student pilots learning to fly weight-shift control trike light-sport aircraft, certificated pilots preparing for additional WSC ratings or who desire to improve their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge, and commercial WSC pilots teaching WSC students how to fly will find this handbook helpful. This book introduces the prospective pilot to the realm of WSC flight and provides information and guidance to all weight-shift control trike pilots in the performance of various maneuvers and procedures.
This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and maneuvers, and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method and concept to flying WSC aircraft. The discussions and explanations reflected the most commonly used practices and principles. Occasionally, the work “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
There are a number of ways to use the training kit, depending on your situation.
Lets first look at using it for self directed study before you go for your flight lessons. This is for a person who wants to learn as much knowledge as possible on their own before the flight lessons. All students should accomplish this for sure if you must travel to a location and fly day after day in an accelerated course. Overall, a complete self study is the best approach because you will progress much quicker during your flight lessons which will save you time and money. You can easily progress through the course and pass your FAA knowledge test.
Now for your flight lessons, you can focus on the flying with no hurdles. Your ground study will be reviewed with your flight lessons, with the additional practical knowledge filled in with your instructor during your flight lessons. It is best for you not to use the cockpit as a classroom, it is to expensive.
Let’s look at the other situation where you start using the student kit while you are flight training. This would be where you could take a flight lesson than have a day to work on the ground lesson before you take the next flight lesson. This is good if you can get 2 or 3 flights per week at a nearby school. Here you follow through each flight/ground and training module with the ground school integrated with the flight lessons.
No matter which technique you choose, your efforts studying the material specified in the training syllabus will safe you money on the instructor teaching you things you can learn your self. Do not worry, the instructor must make sure you have the basic knowledge and flight skills for the checkride. It is up to you how you get it.
