Canon de Performance

This book is a complete theoretical development from the most basic principles of aerodynamics to its practical application in flight within the legal framework in a simple and clear way, but with a proven scientific rigor.

It covers not only the syllabus and learning objectives required by the latest versions of the European regulations, but also the references, applications, analysis and theoretical developments useful for any active commercial pilot, adding comparisons and differences with the North American regulations.

This canon is, therefore, the most complete and rigorous work that can be used by the Airline Transport Pilot student as well as by the active pilot in an airline, or if they operate small models such as turboprops or jets.
