About this title

Synopsis

For over 70 years, the content of From the Ground Up has stood as a literary benchmark for the teaching of the multitude of components and complexities inherent in the challenging activity of learning to fly. From the Ground Up has become the hallmark for its widespread use and respect as the reference manual of choice in hundreds of flying schools throughout Canada and around the world.

The publication boasts over 360 graphics, charts, diagrams and photos, with additional full-colour navigation charts and sample weather charts included. All chapters are current in the latest technological and legislative aeronautical matters and cover such topics as The Airplane, Theory of Flight, Aero Engines, Aeronautical Rules & Procedures, Aviation Weather, Navigation, Radio & Radio Navigation, Airmanship, Human Factors, and Air Safety. From the Ground Up also includes an extensive index, glossary and practice examination.

Since the 1940's, virtually every student - civilian, military, commercial, recreational - who has ever learned to fly in Canada has used From the Ground Up as the primary ground school textbook from which they've learned everything one can learn about aeronautics, and about flying. Referred to as "the bible" of ground school instruction, and updated regularly, From the Ground Up has long been considered an essential resource for all with any interest whatsoever in the theory and practice of flying.
