Instrument Rating
by Federal Aviation Administration
The Practical Test Standards (PTS) series guides student pilots, flight instructors, and FAA-designated examiners through checkrides, the final test in acquiring a pilot license. Each PTS guide details the skill and knowledge that must be successfully demonstrated before an examiner can issue a certificate or rating. The knowledge requirements detail which subjects will be covered—which weather reports and forecasts candidates will be asked to analyze, which physiological conditions (such as dehydration, spatial disorientation, and hypoxia) candidates will need to discuss, and what kind of flight planning exercises will need to be demonstrated. The skill requirements include what kind of takeoff and landing must be performed, such as crosswind or short-field; how a steep turn should be executed, with specifics that include what bank angle and airspeed to use; and what areas will be tested on a continuous basis, such as the checklist usage, positive exchange of flight controls, and crew resource management. The tolerances are defined so the candidates know what altitude, airspeed, headings, and banks must be maintained to complete each maneuver successfully. Each PTS guide lists the knowledge and experience prerequisites for a particular certificate or rating and provides background information and study and reference materials. This replaces 1560272104.

Xb-70 Valkyrie
by Joseph A. Ventolo
Though production of the XB-70 Valkyrie was limited to just two prototypes, it remains one of the most incredible aircraft ever built. Conceived at the height of the Cold War, the XB-70 was envisioned as long-range, high-altitude bomber capable of Mach 3 at a time when fighter aircraft one-tenth its weight struggled to attain Mach 2. Eventually, however, advances in air-to-air missile technology made the bomber obsolete before it even entered service. This book is the complete story of the XB-70 Valkyrie, from its promising future as the most likely successor to the B-52, through its abandonment after 15 years of development. Explained and illustrated are the innovative technologies and materials introduced by the project and how they paved the way for future aircraft like the B-l, B-2, and F-117. Also described are the backroom politics associated with the XB-70 and the tragic crash that killed the crew of one prototype. Today, the surviving XB-70 is the centerpiece exhibit at the U.S Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio.
