Fly Better

.....the things you should have been taught when learning to fly! 

'Fly Better' is a series of books about how aeroplanes fly and how best to fly them. They are the teachings of Noel Kruse, the creator and Chief Flying Instructor of the 'Sydney Aerobatic School', a unique and widely known advanced flying school, which for 22 years was based in Sydney Australia. The books are available on this website as a free download. They are intended for people who are planning to learn to fly, for Student and Private Pilots who feel they have not been taught about the subject in a way that enables them to really understand it, and for Flight Instructors to better equip them to teach others how to fly properly.

The books are not just a collection of theory lessons or flying technique lectures, each chapter contains Noel's philosophy of flying, which is based upon his personal experiences and adventures over 64 years and 18,000+ hours in the air, 12,000 of which were engaged in teaching others how to 'fly better'.

"Reading this material takes me back to my eye-opening experiences flying with you over the years. This is great stuff to have! I will definitely spread the word."  Laurent Lamy (Aust).

"Thank you so much for your fantastic free contribution to the learning of flying aircraft."  Yoland Grosjean (Switzerland).   "I've been through the aviation industry from flying a Cessna 152 to heavy jets, and now I'm renewing my instructor qualifications so I can teach student pilots the way I wish I had been taught. I only wish that I had Noel's books when I was learning to fly, and I have every intention of teaching the theoretical concepts and many of the techniques from the Fly Better series. I recommend these books to pilots of any experience and qualification level."  Anthony Crichton-Browne (Aust).
