Altimeter settings (Understand what are & how to set spot heights, QNH and QFE) ALSO RELEVENT TO AIRLAW! Landowner Relations (recommended heights above animals, types of fencing indicating likely field use)
Wind (Surface wind and gradient wind, estimate one, knowing the other) (In ballooning the gradient wind is commonly known as the approx. 2000ft wind) SCHEDULE 9 ARTICLES 150(2) AND 156(3) https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP393REFERENCE_ONLY.pdf Both Trevor Thom and Robert Johnson commenced the task in my office at Felden, Hertfordshire. By the end of the following year, all four volumes were completed and were published in February 1987. By the end of that year, we estimated that 95% of all the UK Flying Schools were using our manuals. Volumes 5, 6 and 7 followed, so completing the full series which also now includes the Question & Answer Exam Books Volumes 1-9 and the Air Presentations series of PowerPoint Teaching Aids.b) ISA is a sea-level pressure of 1013.25 hPa, a sea-level temperature of 15°C, a fixed lapse rate for temperature of 1.98°C per 1000 ft up to 36,090 feet (the theoretical tropopause height of the ISA), where the temperature is assumed to be -56.5°C Oxygen (the effect of altitude on the body, symptoms of Hypoxia & Hyperventilation, time of useful consciousness with increased levels of altitude (note not time of total unconsciousness!)
where possible, continue to move away from the vehicle using “bunny hops” with your feet together until at least 15m from the vehicle. c) For practical purposes the ISA can be assumed to have sea level pressure of 1013 hPa at a temperature of 15°C and a lapse rate of 2°C per 1000 feet up to 36 000 feet with a corresponding temperature of -57°C. Eyes scanning (Saccades) rapid movement of the eye between fixations (points where the eye stops & takes in detail)Propane (expansion of, density of, leak detection methods and prevention, contamination, explosive mixture) A great question to ask your Instructor. What happens to your balloon when flying over a big dense forest or large body of water? Know all and what documents are required as part of the regulations for an Airworthy Aerostat. This also is virtually impossible for PUTs to find! So here is the link! Over the years there have been many assistant editors, in particular Peter Godwin, whose help I first asked for in the very early days with Trevor Thom and which continued until quite recently. The rights in the Air Pilot Manuals are now vested with the Pooley family and they continue to be edited by Dorothy Saul-Pooley, with the assistance of Daljeet Gill who is responsible for the design and layout, and are published from our offices at Shoreham Airport. The APM series of manuals are used in many countries around the world. Pilots Under Training (PUT’s) should have athoroughworking knowledge ofallof these topics from all the recommended reading sources.
This is the 15th edition (revised Nov 22) EASA edition APM Volume 1. It is in full-Colour and is the first of 7 volumes in this leading and most highly respected series of manuals for the training of the private pilot. Constantly updated, edited, and revised by a highly qualified team headed by Captain Peter Godwin, a current Flying Instructor (FI), Flight Instructor Examiner (FIE), Instrument Rating Examiner and CAA CPL examiner, this series has long been recognised as the most comprehensive reference available to both the student and instructor, and is the standard reference for the CAA PPL examinations. The unit of speed used in Aviation (and maritime) Knot (kn) is simply a nautical mile per hour (but no-one ever says that!) and is approximately 1.15mph. What is the purpose of the tie-off point in a velcro-rip balloon which is situated a few metres above the mouth? http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/765/pdfs/uksi_20160765_en.pdf- so where we can, we have given you a clue to the section you need to look up, thoroughly understand and revise! IMPORTANT NOTE – THIS IS A NOW A SUPERSEEDED DOCUMENT BUT SOME INFORMATION IN IT IS REQUIRED FOR PPL(B) THEORY EXAMS!

His rights were eventually sold to David Robson, another experienced pilot and natural teacher, who progressively improved the drawings and brought colour into the manuals for the first time. Over 100,000 copies sold, this is the 5th of 7 volumes in a leading and most highly respected series of manuals for the training of private pilots. Constantly updated, edited and revised, by a highly qualified team. Thus making this series, a long recognised comprehensive reference available to both the student and instructor and is the standard reference for the CAA PPL examinations. Airman Testing Standards Branch publications are denoted by an asterisk (*). Reference Handbooks Title The Air Pilot Manuals have an outstanding reputation for accuracy and are continuously updated. They are recommended CAA reading material and are referred to extensively in the CAA examination answer booklet.
bring 'blu-tak' to keep those big unruly maps still and fine OHP washable pens as they rub off - so can be used on the maps. Note: This handbook is to be used for gyroplane information only.
