Hiring airlines recommended reading this book prior to your airline interview! Whether you're preparing for turbine ground school, priming for a corporate or airline interview--or even if you're upgrading into your first personal jet or turboprop--"The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual" is designed for you. With precision and a sense of humor, authors Greg Brown and Mark Holt cover all the basics for turbine pilot operations, clearly explaining the differences between turbine aircraft and their piston engine counterparts. This manual clarifies the complex topics of turbine aircraft engines and all major power and airframe systems, subjects that are pertinent to flying bigger, faster, and more advanced aircraft. Discussions on high-speed aerodynamics, wake turbulence, coordinating multi-pilot crews, and navigating in high-altitude weather are all here, plus state-of-the-art cockpit instrumentation such as flight management systems (FMS), global navigation (GPS), and headup guidance systems (HGS or HUD). You'll also learn the operating principles of hazard avoidance systems including weather radar, ground proximity warning systems (GPWS) and predictive wind shear systems (PWS). This Fourth Edition includes guidance regarding the FAA's ATP-CTP training program. The textbook details the concepts and operational principles of the latest-generation cockpit instrumentation, navigation (RNAV/RNP), and communication procedures and equipment (datalink and ADS-B). Included are a glossary, index, plus a turbine pilot rules-of-thumb and turbine aircraft "Spotter's Guide." Additional information is available online where readers can access narrated color animations that make these systems easier than ever to understand.

Highly illustrated and clearly written, The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual is a must have for all pilots. It offers a complete description of turbine aircraft engines and systems including turboprops and jets. Additional chapters on high-speed aerodynamics, multipilot crew co-ordination, wake turbulence and high altitude weather are discussed at length. The book is perfect for not only those involved in pure jet operations; but for those involved in turboprop, multipilot operations, and transition training. It is a key tool for a successful turbine aviation career.

Covering all the essentials of turbine aircraft, this guide will prepare readers for a turbine aircraft interview, commuter ground school, or a new jet job.

Everything a pilot is expected to know when transitioning to turbine-powered aircraft. Whether you're preparing for a turbine aircraft ground school, studying for your Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, priming for a corporate or airline interview, or upgrading into a personal jet or turboprop--The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual is for you. With precision and humor, authors Greg Brown and Mark Holt cover all the basics for turbine pilot operations, clearly explaining the differences between turbine aircraft and their piston engine counterparts. This manual clarifies the complex topics of turbine aircraft engines and all major jet and turboprop power and airframe systems. It also addresses highspee aerodynamics, automation, wake turbulence, high-altitude and adverse weather, air carrier operations, transport airplane performance, and flight deck professionalism and leadership. You'll be introduced to state-of-the-art flight deck instrumentation including flight management systems, global navigation (GPS/RNAV/RNP), and head-up guidance systems. Learn the operating principles of hazard avoidance systems, including weather radar, enhanced ground proximity warning systems, predictive wind shear systems, advanced communication procedures and equipment (datalink and ADS-B), and the latest engine performance management techniques. This fifth edition updates technology and terminology updates required for completing an ATP Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP). Pilots making the challenging transition from single- to multi-pilot flight decks will appreciate new crew coordination resources including checklists and briefings. Included are an updated glossary of airline and corporate aviation terminology, handy turbine pilot rules-of-thumb, and a comprehensive turbine aircraft "Spotter's Guide." The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual introduces all the principles and lingo required to "talk turbine." Many airlines and corporate flight departments recommend reading it before interviewing and prior to attending ground school.
