Rated: NRSynopsis: Take flight with legendary pioneers in aviation —from the Wright Brothers to Zeppelins to Barnstormers to the breathtaking exploits of the Record Setters, re-live the thrilling key events from the early days of aviation history.
Rated: TVPGSynopsis: When the Wright brothers successfully took to the sky in 1903, the world paid attention. Civil aviation has since developed into a multi-billion dollar industry capable of transporting passengers from anywhere, every hour of every day. We look at the incredible history and development of civil aviation in this series. From Lindburgh through to modern marvels such as the Boeing 787, this 8-part series explores the amazing world of aviation!
This visually stunning documentary chronicles the origin and development of aviation, starting with its inception with the inventions of the Wright Brothers, and moving through the developments of bombers used in World War II, and on to the achievements in commercial flight. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

The Aviation Instructor's Handbook is a world-class educational reference tool developed and designed for ground instructors flight instructors and aviation maintenance instructors. This information-packed handbook provides the foundation for beginning instructors to understand and apply the fundamentals of instructing. It also provides aviation instructors with detailed up-to-date information on learning and teaching and how to relate this information to the task of conveying aeronautical knowledge and skills to students. Experienced aviation instructors will also find the new and updated information useful for improving their effectiveness in training activities. No aviation instructor's library is complete without the up-to-date Aviation Instructor's Handbook.
The book provides an up-to-date overview of the history of aviation medicine and the development of medical requirements for licensing. Also the physiological foundation for flight, the physiology of the sensory organs, exposure to cosmic radiation, the preventative aspects of aviation medicine, the role of medical factors in accident investigation, and passenger health issues are covered.
Includes:The Age of Flight: X-Planes (1990) Air Force One: The Planes and the Presidents - Flight II (1991) Dream Jets (2004) The Age of Flight: X-Planes Age of Flight, a 12-volume series, presents a comprehensive history of aviation, from man's earliest attempts to conquer the wild blue yonder to the development of sophisticated experimental crafts and advanced technology. Archival photography and aerial footage illustrate the fascinating stories of the men, women, and events that defined the evolution of flight. Volume ten, X-Planes offers a look at experimental aircraft and the men who risked their lives to fly them. The "X" designation was taken from the phrase "experimental supersonic," a term that applied to a family of experimental aircraft built solely for flight research. This program depicts the bold feats undertaken by test pilots, the Wright brothers, Chuck Yeager, and NASA pilots as they executed never-before-performed maneuvers. Other titles in The Age of Flight series include Mig Alley, Choppers, Dawn of the Jet Age, Jets - The New Generation, Lift Off to Space, Aces, Bombers, Kitty Hawk, The Story of Naval Power, Rolling Thunder, and Modern Warplanes. ~ Sally Barber, Rovi Air Force One: The Planes and the Presidents - Flight II MPI Home Video takes a look at the famed presidential jetliner with its second film about the U.S. president's private plane, Air Force One. Known as the flying White House, this massive jet has been the object of many a child's wonder and many an adult's envy. Hosted by Charlton Heston, this video takes the viewer on a virtual tour of the plane while discussing the history of presidential flight. Not only will you get to examine the airship from stern to bow, you will also be informed as to what great presidential events have taken place off the ground. Flight II gives an interesting view of history and modern technology in the same breath. This is a video for children and adults alike. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi Dream Jets Take to the sky with the rich and famous as you step aboard the most exuberant personal jets ever to grace the clouds in this high flying video that shows just why the skyways of today may be the highways of tomorrow. The celebrity customers of an exclusive design team demand aircraft that are as comfortable as they are functional, and with such high-profile clientele as Elvis Presley and John Travolta, you can rest assured that these remarkable machines will be anything but your run-of-the-mill puddle-jumpers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Grade Levels: 3 6 Bring the world of flight into the classroom! Your students journey through space and time by exploring a 360 panorama, which interactively portrays a history of aeronautics and the mechanics of flight. Students use on screen journals to record their flight adventure. A visit to the Planetarium provides a map of the solar system and seasonal views of the Big Dipper constellation. An extensive library includes interactive books on the science of flight, famous inventors, aviators and astronauts, rocketry, astronomy, and the literature of flight. Students will also find a challenging game center and great exploration ideas to help them thoroughly and independently investigate aeronautics.
FLIGHT JOURNAL includes articles on aviation history and contemporary practice; military, commercial and civil aircraft; notable personalities of aviation; technical aspects of aircraft; visits to air shows and museums; reports on restorations; aviation photography; three-view aircraft drawings; aviation art; and coverage of the virtual flight experiences available through computer flight simulations.
It's a new world in commercial aviation safety. This fourth edition of the premier resource in the field is thoroughly revised and updated to serve the safety needs of commercial aviation in the United States. This text offers the best guidance on today's security concerns on the ground and in the air, changes in systems and regulations, new maintenance and flight technologies, and recent accidents. "Commercial Aviation Safety" integrates the latest research on factors in accidents into the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and systematic reference on the principles and regulatory practices of commercial aviation safety and security.With the introduction of co-author Clarence C. Rodrigues, "Commercial Aviation Safety" broadens its field of study to include regulatory information on OSHA, EPA, and TSA. Ideal for students and professionals alike, the fourth edition covers: regulatory information on OSHA, EPA, and TSA relevant to aviation; aircraft and air traffic control technologies; airport safety; runway incursions - one of the FAA's top 5 safety priorities; security regulations leading up to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and beyond; aviation security control technologies; airline safety program management; safety organizational structure of a major air carrier; free flight; NTSB accident data and its analysis; OSHA injury and illness statistics; accident modeling including reasons model of accident causation; and management of human error.
Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, and it is widely agreed that a better understanding of human capabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological - would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil Aviation Authority introduced an examination in human performance and limitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Now the Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a new syllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for Flight Crew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to take account of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviation psychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviation physiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment and on health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargon and technical language. "There is no doubt that this book provides an excellent basic understanding of the human body, its limitations, the psychological processes and how they interact with the aviation environment. I am currently studying for my ATPL Ground Exams and I found this book to be an invaluable aid. It is equally useful for those studying for the PPL and for all pilots who would like to be reminded of their physiological and psychological limitations." – General Aviation , June 2002
