Flight Instructor Manual (Aeroplane)
This is an update of Publication 45, first published by the Department of Civil Aviation in 1967. It provides flight instructors of all levels with a guide to elementary flying training. No direct reference is made to any particular type of aeroplane or equipment but it is sufficiently comprehensive to cover all aspects of flying training for simple aeroplanes with fixed undercarriage and fixed pitch propellers.
