You're probably looking for the no-cost option, but let me offer another
option. Disclaimer -- I'm in no way connected with the company but I've been using the products for years. Most useful when I'm not near a high-speed internet connection. Summit Aviation has a CD product that comes out every 28 days (sound familiar?) Most of the stuff isn't updated but items such as ADs and TCDS, and the AIM are included. Other things on the CD: 14 CFR -- what we know and love as the FARs. Bunch of Handbooks - the 8083s (weight & balance, instrument handbook, student pilot guide, etc) and the 8261 - Instrument Procedures. Bunch of Advisory Circulars (ACs) Pilot/Controller Glossary All the PTS (the 8081 series) All the TSOs Knowledge test questions Legal interpretations And.... Aerodynamics for naval aviators And more stuff. True, most of this stuff is available on the FAAs website. But if you were going to buy the various books it would cost far more than the cost of one CD. I update just once a year or so. It's great when I'm traveling. I get to take all the books with me (and the laptop only weighs 4 pounds). Best part - EVERTHING is searchable! As I said, I'm in no way connected (other than by the interstate. They're on the far west side of the Denver area and I'm on the far east side...). Just freaks the FAA and others when I'm in meetings and people are trying to remember the citation or exact wording and I pop it up in seconds.... (*evil laugh*) summitaviation.com |

Hi Blanche;
Not sure who your post was meant for, but it appeared under mine. I'm assuming you meant the OP here since I've had my copy of this book since 1960 :-)) Dudley "Blanche" wrote in message ... You're probably looking for the no-cost option, but let me offer another option. |

It's funny how the mind works sometimes. Here I sit after all these years. and reading this. Just for a second I had a flashback to the day I soloed. I was seventeen. The airplane was a North American AT6 owned by a friend of my father. For just a second I could see it all in my mind's eye......the whole scene....I could feel the heat from the sun and the wind on my face as I taxied through that last left turn to face down the old grass runway at an airport that is now a shopping center......the sounds of the engine......even the smell of the old gray paint chipped cockpit. Funny. Thanks :-))) Dudley |

"Blanche" wrote in message ... You're probably looking for the no-cost option, but let me offer another option. summitaviation.com Thanks for the pointer. The CD has a LOT of information. There is a list at http://www.summitaviation.com/publications.html I think I have most of these publicactions, but if nothing else it is a good list of important document numbers and descriptions. I suspect most of them are available at http://av-info.faa.gov/ or http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/maste...er_catalog.asp Considering the extensive high quality government aviation publications available on the net I have been hoping to find Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, but have failed on the USAF or FAA sites or using a Google search on the title or government publishing number NAVWEPS 00-80T-80. The book was issued by the USNaval operations training division in 1965 and I hoped it was on a Navy publications site but I have no URL If the author has retained some copywrite I would be surprised because of its inclusion on the summitaviation CD. I have also not found a URL for the survival for downed airman training manuals. I may have to troll the bookstores. It appears to be a common book available quite inexpensively but shipping and taxes and customs add up quickly. The CD is an option or someone may have a file or pdf.

I have been reading Mechanics of Flight by A C Kermode, it is challenging but interesting study. He claims AoA is American usage and speaks of angle of incidence and riggers angle of incidence. I had previously noted that Wilbur spoke of aoa as angle of incidence, I suspected changed usage but it seems to still be current in England? Blue skies to all |

We define angle of attack as the angle formed between the leading edge of
the wing and the relative wind. The angle of incidence would be the angular difference between the longitidunal axis of the airplane and a line drawn through the leading and trailing edges of the wing.(Chord Line) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot; CFI; Retired dhenriquestrashatearthlinktrashdotnet (take out the trash :-) "private" wrote in message news:UtOUd.528672$Xk.448356@pd7tw3no...
