The finest and most versatile logbooks for aviators, ASA's logbooks have been 'The Standard' of the industry for over 30 years and comply with the FAA's record keeping requirements. Versatile, easy-to-use, including all instructor endorsements, and flexible enough to fit any pilot's needs - student or ATP - this is an essential resource for aviators.

The Standard UAS Operator Log provides record-keeping for flight operations of small and large unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), remote-control aircraft (R/C), remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), and drones. It meets the needs of civilian, military, hobbyists, and professional operators alike so that critical flight details can be tracked. The logbook has sufficient room for more than 300 flights with space to record the equipment details, location, aircraft category, flight conditions, type of operating time, number of takeoff/launch and landing/recovery, and the total duration of the flight. The remarks area provides space to note the mission, crew, control method (such as RC, first person view or RPV and autonomous), battery number and configuration or other information to correlate to the flight controller mission logs. It also includes a summary page for owner/operator (such as contact details, certificates and ratings, and recurrency training), a briefing/academic instruction log, a page for equipment and hours flown, and initial and recurrent training endorsements.

Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are promising developments in flight simulation technology and the important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation safety investigators, flight training management and instructors, training and instructional technologists, virtual environment design community, and regulatory authorities.

In 1926 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (author of the classic The Little Prince) began flying for the pioneering airline Latécoère - later known as Aéropostale - opening up the first mail routes across the Sahara and the Andes. Wind, Sand and Stars (1939) is drawn from this experience. Interweaving stories of encounters with nomadic Arabs and other adventures into a rich autobiographical narrative it has its climax in the extraordinary story of Saint-Exupéry's crash in the Libyan Desert in 1936, and his miraculous survival.

Each guide in this comprehensive series covers the fundamentals of flying and the principal characteristics of a specific type of aircraft, gathered from the advice and experiences of leading experts in the aviation industry. Geared for pilots interested in renting or buying a particular model, these sourcebooks provide an overview of the aircraft and detailed descriptions of its handling characteristics, limitations, and performance data. A history of each airplane's use and function is also included.
