The Pilot's Manual: Multi-Engine Flying (eBundle Edition)


Book Description

This is the "eBundle" edition of this title (Trade Cloth + PDF eBook version): hardcover textbook comes with code to download the eBook from ASA's website. Multi-engine flying opens up new opportunities to utilize an airplane for personal or professional transportation, allowing you to cruise faster, carry more passengers or cargo, and in most cases, fly higher and in greater comfort. With this enhanced capability comes an increased complexity in the aircraft systems, their operations and performance, and pilot decision-making. The Pilot's Manual: Multi-Engine Flying covers the differences between these aircraft and their single-engine counterparts, providing detailed instruction on systems, aerodynamics, and performance. With reference to the most widely flown light twin training aircraft, the authors cover everything needed for pilots to earn a multi-engine rating using real-world scenarios and examples. Each chapter details the objectives and key terms involved, with descriptions of the systems supported with full color illustrations, an overview of how the pilot interacts with the systems during aircraft operations, and possible emergencies specific to those systems. Review questions conclude the chapters to deepen understanding and apply the material. Tying together systems knowledge, checklist protocol, and aeronautical decision making as taught in this book, a multi-engine pilot can be confident of achieving mastery of the aircraft.




The Complete Multi-Engine Pilot


Book Description

This is the fifth edition of a book pilots have been relying on to learn multi-engine flying for more than 20 years. Learn fundamentals of flying multi-engine airplanes and the aerodynamic laws that govern multi-engine flight, including energy management, under Bob Gardner's experienced and energetic tutoring. Included is information on both obtaining the multi-engine rating and checking out in a new twin. An integrated flight and ground syllabus details the program for the rating and provides a sample written test, typical of the one used for new-aircraft checkouts. Also contains a complete library of FAA source material on multi-engine flight subjects. The Complete Pilot Series is designed for use in flight schools, for home study, and as a base for student kits.

The Pilot's Manual: Airline Transport Pilot


Book Description

"This book prepares an airline pilot candidate in all areas relating to their desired occupation. Being an airline pilot demands a well-rounded candidate - someone who is skilled in the operation and handling of aircraft and of utmost professional and moral character. This book covers many of the technical areas for the airline transport pilot, while highlighting what it means to be an aviation professional. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) outlines the content required by the Airline Transport Pilot - Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP) in Advisory Circular (AC) 61-138. The ATP-CTP ground school must be completed prior to taking the ATP knowledge exam. This book covers all the topics required by this AC and provides practical advice on topics pertinent to a newly hired airline pilot including: aerodynamics with a focus on high altitude operations, stall prevention and recovery, and general upset recovery techniques for transport category aircraft; pertinent weather considerations with emphasis placed on abnormal weather conditions, icing, and severe weather avoidance; general operating considerations when working for an airline; physiological considerations, checklist procedures, operational control, handling equipment failures, operating turbine engines, transport category performance, and automation. Concludes with chapters dedicated to leadership and professionalism, crew resource management, safety culture. and regulations, including sleep and duty regulations as well as pertinent operating rules that differ from general aviation regulations."--Provided by publisher.

Airline Pilot Technical Interviews


Book Description

A study guide for a successful airline checkride All kinds of technical questions can be asked in an airline interview, yet there is a specific approach pilot applicants should take to successfully prepare for this part of the hiring process. In this expanded fourth edition of the book, author Ron McElroy gives readers an abundance of preparatory exercises in the areas of mental math, approach plates, regulations and procedures, weather, systems and aerodynamics, and cockpit situations to analyze and resolve. You will also be acquainted with 14 CFR Part 111 Pilot Records Database so that you are aware of the information sharing that occurs between employers. Using McElroy's tips and methods, aspiring professional pilots will be prepared to display their flying skills during the simulator ride as well as their aeronautical knowledge during the face-to-face oral questioning. This study and practice will not only ensure better performance during a technical interview or test but will help pilots fly the line a little better.
