RJA #12a: Annotated Bibliography, Part 3

Cessna Aircraft Company, . "172S ." Information Manual. 5. 1. Wichita, Kansas: Cessna Aircraft Company, 1998. Print.

This information manual must be up to code with the Federal Aviation Administration. This manual describes, in extreme detail, how the Cessna 172 Skyhawk operates. This manual must be in the aircraft any time it is flown in order to meet the standards of the Federal Aviation Administration. This manual will help me very much in my paper because it shows the performance of the Skyhawk.

Nelson, Wade. "The Gimli Glider." Soaring Magazine 1997: n. pag. Web. 9Apr 2010. .

This is an overview of the incident involving a Boeing 767 as it ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet. This story is relevant to my topic because it shows how professional pilots may have to resort to glider pilot skills. This source will be important for my paper because it shows how a pilot may need to use glider skills at an unexpected time.

Schweizer Aircraft Corp., . "The 2-33 Sailplane." Flight-Erection-Maintenance Manual. 1. 1. Wlmira, New York: Schweizer Aircraft Corp., Print.

This manual for the Schweizer 2-33 glider describes everything about how the glider operates. All of the performance charts and information on weight and wingspan are included in this manual. This manual is only 25 pages long but holds a great deal of information. This manual will be beneficial to my paper because it will allow me to compare and contrast the 2-33 from the Cessna 172.

Thayer, Eric. "N.Y. jet crash called 'Miracle on the Hudson'." MSNBC (2009): 1-2. Web. 12Apr 2010. .

This article was written about a month after the incident where an Airbus A320 was forced to ditch into the freezing cold water of the Hudson River. This incident occurred when the plane ingested a flock of Canadian Geese on climb out from LaGuardia international Airport destined to Charlotte North Carolina carrying 150 passengers. This resource will help me out very much in my paper because it shows how glider training will help with a professional pilot when least expected.

Prentice, Robert, and Douglas Streu. "Aviation Weather Services." Advisory Circular, AC 00-45F. 2. 6. Newcastle, Washington: Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc, 2008. Print.

This book is going to be an important resource regarding weather. This book is published for the FAA and explains all weather phenomenons for official use. This book will be great for finding out information on weather that pilots need to know before and during flight.

"Cleared for Takeoff." Handbook for Becoming a Private Pilot. 5. 1. Wichita, Kansas: King Schools, Inc, 2006. Print.

This book is a guide for becoming a private pilot in singe engine air craft and even more specifically the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. This book gives all the information needed in order to become a private pilot in single engine airplanes. It discusses rules and regulations and even what to expect price wise. I will use this book to discuss single engine private pilot training.

Knauff, T.L. Glider Basics: From First Flight to Solo. 1. Columbia University Press, 1982. Print.

The man who wrote this is an incredibly knowledgeable person in the aviation industry, especially when dealing with gliders. This reference article gives tips from what he has learned from being an FAA flight examiner and instructor for gliding. It discusses just like the title explains, the basics of gliding from your first flight to solo. The article talks about the best kind of weather for training in and where to train for the best results in gliding.

http://www.FAA.gov

This website is immensely helpful for aviation purposes. The reason being, is that the FAA is in charge of the skies and they produces the rules and procedures for flying. If you need information on flight training, this website will either give you the information or point you exactly where you need to go. This website will also give you information on where to get flight training and take exams.

Lester, Peter. "Aviation Weather." 3rd. 1. Englewood, Colorado: Jeppesen, 2007. Print.

This book is a reference to aviation weather. I am very interested in this book because it specifically shows why glider pilots need to be more knowledgeable about aviation weather. This book gets very in depth on weather for gliders. General weather for all pilots is also discussed in this book.

RJA #10c: Ideas for the Application Project

I think it would be interesting to write journal entries about the Hudson River crash where the A320 lost both engines due to bird strikes and the captain was forced to glide the plane in. I would like to act as though I was the first officer on that flight. I could describe the thought process that went through my mind and the captains mind as we were gliding that plane into the river.

RJA #10a: Annotated Bibliography, Part 1

Glider Flying Handbook. 13. 1. Canada: FAA, 2003. 1-301. Print.

This book is the official book printed by the Federal Aviation Administration specifically for gliding and glider training. This book has everything you need to know if you are a student or a seasoned pilot. This book goes into great detail about glider operations, procedures, handling and aerodynamics. This book is going to be a great resource for the information I need about glider training.

U.S. Department of Transportation, . Federal Aviation Regulations/Aeronautical Information Manual. 2010. Newcastle, Washington: Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc, 2010. Print.

This book is literally a rule book for flying. It has every single law and procedure all the way from ground operations to airline transport and even military operations that involve aviation. A new edition of this book is printed every year with changes. The book is huge with over a thousand pages and it should be an amazing resource when discussing regulations.

Fiorino, Frances. "Industry Debate Focuses on flight Flight Crew Training." Aviation Week 57-58. Web. March 15, 2010. .

This article discusses the professional industry of aviation and the training that is required. There is a big debate about what flight companies are looking for in a pilots log book regarding the type of training and the number of hours the pilot has logged. This article also shows the requirements of a pilot for different airlines and charter services. This will be a great source to use to make and defend arguments.
