This commercial ground school textbook builds thoroughly and expertly upon the
content of its first two editions. Updated across all subjects, Flying Beyond, 3rd
Edition further secures its status as the “Go To” textbook for Canadian CPL studies.
It neatly segues readers into the higher standards required of pilots seeking to step
up from their PPL status thereby sending them skillfully on their way towards
careers as professional aviators.
The topics in Flying Beyond are presented in the order given in Transport Canada’s syllabus. Subjects include:
Human Factors (Psychological & Physiological), Theory of Flight, Airframes & Engines, Aircraft Systems, Flight
Instruments, Meteorology, Weather Reports & Forecasting, Pilot Navigation & Radio Navigation, Flight Operations,
Air Law, and more.
Each chapter remains enhanced with informative anecdotes that describe helpful “real world” scenarios related
to the subject matter being presented. Also, frequently placed “exam hints” alert students to the importance of
specific material, to better prepare them for the written CPL examination. Content abounds throughout the
textbook that challenges students to think deeper about topics, to better consolidate their understanding of the
nuances of the title’s extensive substance.
