The GFD Multi-Engine Rating Video provides an in-depth look at multi-engine operations, aerodynamics, engine-out operations and more. As will all GFD DVDs, the Multi-Engine video closely follows Jeppesen's Multi-Engine Syllabus.

Supplement your aviation knowledge with Jeppesen's FlighTime Videos and DVDs training topics. Each subject gives you a more detailed look at important aviation topics.

This video analyzes three actual CFIT cases and explores the preventative measures and techniques that pilots of all levels of experience can use to help reduce their risk of being involved in a controlled flight into terrain accident.

This important video explores how angle of attack affects lift, drag, and aircraft performance, by covering lift and drag equations, L/D max, the factors that influence glide ratio, the effect of weight on glide speed, and spin considerations. A booklet to self-check your understanding is included.

This video follows a pilot through a typical flight review, stressing the topics and maneuvers that may be covered.

METAR/TAF shows you how to interpret current and forecast weather and includes a 24-page supplement that provides comprehensive information regarding these weather reporting formats.

This video explores United Airline's human factors training program. Whether you are operating in a Part 121, 135, or 91 environment you can benefit from the crew resource management techniques explored during interviews with C/L/R instructors in this dynamic video.

Human Bodies perform much differently in the air than on the ground. Pilots must understand how changes in altitude, reduced atmospheric pressure, and differences in sensory perception can affect their ability to think clearly and maintain effective control of their aircraft. Aviation Physiology presents proven techniques for dealing with the challenges of working in the flight environment.

This DVD provides worthwhile, practical information you can use, including:

• How vision works and the limitations of the human eye

• How to increase the effectiveness of your night vision

• How organs of balance and motion are tricked into sending false information

• Cause of oxygen deficiency

• How to cope with spatial disorientation

• Physiological effects of altitude

• The effects of hypoxia and hyperventilation

• Common sensory illusions and how to avoid them

• Medication and flying

FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) was designed by the FAA to better prepare pilots for the challenges of flying technically advanced aircraft.  Rather than just performing maneuvers, FITS teaches pilots to think and respond using real-flight scenarios. Topics discussed include: Risk Management, Aeronautical Decision Making, Single Pilot Resource Management, and Situational Awareness.

History has shown that human factors are the root cause of aircraft accidents. FITS is designed to better prepare pilots to handle the situations that arise during real-life flying. And make them safer.

Subjects covered in this DVD include:

• An introduction to FITS

• The syllabus

• Technically advanced aircraft definition

• A typical FITS lesson
