A practical and concise guide to the flight exercises for the
aeroplane PPL and ratings associated with it. Both the JAR and NPPL
Private Pilot's License syllabuses are covered, as well as the JAR
Night Rating, the CAA Instrument Meteorological Conditions Rating
and the JAR Multi-Engine Rating. The common variations -
retractable undercarriages, tailwheels, variable-pitch propellers
and super- and turbocharging- are also covered. Topics include: The
requirements for each license/rating listed, with the
entry-to-training requirements, privileges and validity/currency of
each; Each exercise is described in detail, explaining what has to
be achieved and how to do it; Useful checklists and aides-memoire
throughout

Author Daniel E. Williams, an industry professional with more 30
years of experience in chassis control systems from concept to
launch, brings this experience and his unique approach to readers
of Generalized Vehicle Dynamics. This book makes use of
nomenclature and conventions not used in other texts. This
combination allows the derivation of complex vehicles that roll
with multiple axles, any of which can be steered, to be directly
predicted by manipulation of a generalized model. Similarly the
ride characteristics of such a generalized vehicle are derived.
This means the vehicle dynamic behavior of these vehicles can be
directly written from the results derived in this work, and there
is no need to start from Newton's Second Law to create such
insight. Using new and non-standard conventions allows wider
applicability to complex vehicles, including autonomous vehicles.
Generalized Vehicle Dynamics is divided into two main sections-ride
and handling-with roll considered in both. Each section concludes
with a case study that applies the concepts presented in the
preceding chapters to actual vehicles. Chapters include Simple
Suspension as a Linear Dynamic System, The Quarter-Car Model, The
Pitch Plane Model, The Roll Plane Mode, Active Suspension to
Optimize Ride, Handling Basics, Reference Frames, New Conventions,
Two-Axle Yaw Plane Model, Rear Axle Steering and Lanekeeping,
Two-Axle Vehicles that Roll, Three-Axle Vehicle Dynamics,
Generalized Multi-Axle Vehicle Dynamics and Automated Vehicle
Architecture from Vehicle Dynamics. "A fresh and more inclusive
book that lays out much new material in vehicle dynamics." - L.
