Aviation Library

Homebuilt Aviation Library

The library contains articles about constructing homebuilt kit aircraft and other subjects of interest to all pilots. It is divided into several sections for easy access and each section contains several subsections to combine closely related subjects.

Building Kit Aircraft

Herein you will find four subsections containing articles about building aircraft. Ranging from aluminum to aircraft parts, corrosion protection and aerodynamic cleanup. Also the time of construction is the perfect moment to make small changes to reduce the drag of an aircraft.

  • Aircraft Construction
  • Power Plant Installation
  • Aircraft Parts
  • Aluminum Alloys
  • Aerodynamic Cleanup
  • Composite Aircraft

Aircraft Electrical Systems

To some people electricity is like magic. We are going to explain how it works and how it is used in aircraft. For kit aircraft builders some knowledge is really required so pay attention in this section.

  • Electrical Systems
  • Power Generation
  • Aircraft Antenna
  • External Aircraft Lights

Proficient Airmanship

Aiming to be a better pilot, assessing risk during the flight and acting in a continuously changing flight environment and what you can do in an emergency situation. That's the subject in this section.

  • Decision Making Process
  • Aviation Human Factors
  • Flight Environment
  • Radio Communications
  • Emergency Services

Firewall Forward

Discusses everything from the firewall forward until we reach the propeller. From piston engines, turbo chargers, fuel, lubrication and ignition systems, measuring engine horsepower and performance, it will be here.

  • Piston Engine Details
  • Engine Performance
  • Turbo's & Exhaust Systems
  • Engine Lubrication Systems
  • Engine Ignition Models
  • Fuel System Parts
  • Experimental Engines

Secondary Systems

These make up for the rest of the aircraft, not really essential for flying but these systems make life easier for the pilot. Think of brakes, oxygen, pitot static systems and much, much more.

  • Brakes & Wheels
  • Fire & Oxygen
  • Pitot Static System
  • Gyroscopic Systems
  • Hydraulics & Pneumatics
