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.
