The Basic Aerobatic Manual
Kershner, William K.
First Edition
William K. Kershner's The Basic Aerobatic Manual is designed to serve as a reference guide for flyers enrolled in introductory aerobatics courses. Though the manual emphasizes air-speeds and techniques recommended for the Cessna Aerobat, the maneuvers described in the book may be performed in other airplanes certificated for aerobatics.
Kershner introduces aerobatic maneuvers in order of difficulty, covering stalls, steep power turns, spins, loops and rolls and combinations of the two, and a variety of other maneuvers. A separate chapter is devoted to the subject of recoveries in unusual situations. As always, Kershner presents his material in a clear, understandable, and humorous style. The Basic Aerobatic Manual is fully illustrated and contains a practical syllabus, a detailed bibliog-raphy, and an Index.
Bill Kershner started his aerobatic career in a Stearman N2S at age 17 and instructed aerobatics and towed banners in a Meyers OTW biplane at age 19. At this writing he has over 2000 hours of aerobatic instructing and 2100-plus spins in the C-150/152 Aerobat. Kershner operates a one-plane, one-instructor aerobatic school in Sewanee, Tennessee, using a Cessna 152 Aerobat. He also is the author of The Student Pilot's Flight Manual, The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual, The Instrument Flight Manual, The Flight Instructor's Manual, and co-author of The Student Pilot's Study Guide, all published by Iowa State University Press.
