TSF - The School of Flight - Die Schule des Fliegens

From personal growth to how we handle technology to shaping the future of mobility and aviation

Books & Ideas

that have shaped „The School of Flight“ in some way

Click 06 —  FAA & EASA basics, birds, brains, secrets, sketches, sticks ’n’ rudders >>

Since this is a somewhat unusual ground school, it has been shaped by a quite an unusual range of sources and ideas. Beside the more common basic literature like the FAA´s „Flying Handbook“ and „Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge“ or „Flight Instructors Handbook“, the German classics on the EASA side of things by Winfried Kassera’s „Flug ohne Motor“ or „Ultraleicht Fliegen Lernen“ (LAPL) .. „Motorflug Kompakt“ (PPL) as well as „IFR Kompakt“ for instrument flying .. here are the first two „out of the ordinary“ ones that I will expand on over time .. and a little preview of what’s about to be sketched and commented on ..

„Whole Brain Living - The Anatomy of Choice“ 


by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor 


Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor turns as complex a thing as the human brain into a space with four characters. Already being a respected neuro-anatomist in her 30s she suffered a major stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain and in this book she brings her experiences of rebuilding basic brain functions, professional expertise and her writing skills together. She organizes the brain into four groups — very different characters who interact all day. Who’s got the mic? Which one of these fellas inside your head do you want to be? And when? 



„Stick and Rudder - An Explanation of the Art of Flying“ 


by Wolfgang Langewiesche 


First released in 1944, in this book American engineer and Cessna (..) test pilot Wolfgang Langewiesche describes the basics of flight and aerodynamics in a compelling way, the planes and training methods of that era, combined with a quite accurate vision of the planes we fly today. 

 


„Flights of fancy - Defying Gravity by Design and Evolution“ 


by Richard Dawkins 


Biologist Richard Dawkins describes what science has learned over the years about the evolution of birds and connects these insights to the (human) dream of flight and how our species actually does fly today, how it got there.
