Textbook: Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators

Books

I don’t recommend many books outside the free FAA’s pubs, but these are worth their weight in gold to me:

  • Stick and Rudder
    • Arguably the best book on practical (not engineering) aerodynamics
    • Focuses on the elements of aircraft control that pilots need to understand intimately
    • Just as applicable today as in 1945
  • IFR: A Structured Approach (John Eckalbar 2003)
    • The best book I've found about procedural IFR Flying
    • The flying by the numbers section is spot on
    • Very applicable still today (RNAV info is outdated)

Articles

I find well-cited articles when I want to deep dive a topic.

I’ll link them here as I find them worthwhile:
