Advanced Aerobatics
	In this lesson-by-lesson guide, accessible text combines with sequential ``cockpit view'' photographs and sophisticated computer graphics to provide an effective primer on all aspects of advanced aerobatics--a form of flight that intrigues all pilots. Twenty specific maneuvers are presented in individual chapters that follow the same logical pattern: clear, concise description of the move; discussion of the theory behind it; step-by-step details on how to fly it; a look at common errors; and corrective measures to take if something goes wrong. Also covered are the effects of aerobatics on the human body, training regimens to enhance performance, flying high-performance aircraft, and all aspects of competition. Advanced Aerobatics
