Pilots, aviation students, kitplane builders, aircraft fleet operators and aeronautical engineers can all determine how their propeller-driven airplanes will perform, under any conditions, by using the step-by-step bootstrap approach introduced in this book. A few routine flying manoeuvres (climbs, glides, a level speed run) will give the necessary nine numbers. High-school level calculations then give performance numbers with much greater detail and accuracy than many other methods - for the reader's individual aircraft.

This report is a supplement to the article 'Integration of an Airborne Laboratory into the United States Air Force Academy Academic Curriculum' in USAFA-TR-83-2. It contains the test plans, flight test planning guides, and aircraft specifications handouts used during the applications phase of the Department of Aeronautics Airborne Laboratory. Sample calculations and plots from actual flight test data taken by cadets are also included. While at test plans, flight test planning guides, and aircraft specifications were designed to be used with the Beechcraft Sierra and Sundowner, the formats are sufficiently general so that they can be applied to any single-engine, general aviation aircraft. Commonly recognized flight test techniques are used for gathering data, and data reduction is accomplished using accepted procedures. (Author).

QF32 is the award winning bestseller from Richard de Crespigny, author of the forthcoming Fly!: Life Lessons from the Cockpit of QF32 On 4 November 2010, a flight from Singapore to Sydney came within a knife edge of being one of the world's worst air disasters. Shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered Engine 2 of Qantas flight QF32 - an Airbus A380, the largest and most advanced passenger plane ever built. Hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripped through the wing and fuselage, creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were destroyed or degraded. In other hands, the plane might have been lost with all 469 people on board, but a supremely experienced flight crew, led by Captain Richard de Crespigny, managed to land the crippled aircraft and safely disembark the passengers after hours of nerve-racking effort. Tracing Richard's life and career up until that fateful flight, QF32 shows exactly what goes into the making of a top-level airline pilot, and the extraordinary skills and training needed to keep us safe in the air. Fascinating in its detail and vividly compelling in its narrative, QF32 is the riveting, blow-by-blow story of just what happens when things go badly wrong in the air, told by the captain himself.
