Fundamentals of mental arithmetic. 2nd ed.

This book is intended for all pilots, including private pilots.
Its aim is to provide pilots with the best possible preparation for the 100 KSA reform and for passing the mental arithmetic test, both of which require knowledge of basic aeronautics and mental arithmetic techniques.
To achieve this, this book offers a simple, effective teaching method.
It is divided into two chapters:
The first focuses on the mental arithmetic knowledge needed to pass the test required to obtain the UV 100 KSA.
The second chapter covers all the mathematical knowledge and formulas you need to know, by topic (navigation, flight mechanics, meteorology, etc.).
To help you put what you've learned into practice, each theoretical skill is illustrated by a sample question and detailed answers.
At the end of each chapter, student pilots can check their skills by taking a series of tests.
