The Advanced Pilot’s Flight Manual

The ultimate volume in the Kershner Flight Manuals Series, The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual is for pilots transitioning to advanced models and types, and preparing for their Commercial Pilot knowledge and flight tests. It bridges the gap between theory and practical application, covering the fundamentals of airplane aerodynamics and aircraft performance.

This eighth edition, edited by William K. Kershner's son, William C. Kershner, is ideal for private pilots seeking additional training or those considering a career as a professional pilot. The commercial certificate opens up possibilities such as flying local charters to getting a flight instructor's license, and from flying a corporate high-performance airplane to flying for the airlines. Performing a wider variety of flying gives opportunities to see and experience aviation beyond the private license.
