The three main sections discuss: Basic flight information - with chapters on the theory of flight and on pilot safety. Principles of safe flight - covering such topics as familiarization with the airplane, the flight instruction syllabus, and basic flying technique. Flying instruction - involving the actual use of the plane. It begins with the most elementary discussion of how to start the engine, progressing to instructions from climbing, banking, gliding, and landing, to making the transition to seaplanes and multi-engine craft.
