Transitioning jet pilots receive a thorough introduction to systems, theory, and operations of today's jets. Experienced jet-pilot trainer Linda D. Pendleton thoroughly explains the critical differences between jet-driven and propeller-driven flight, including the effects of flying at increased speeds and higher altitudes and dealing with the complexity of jet systems. Includes all applicable FARs related to piloting jets and excellent illustrations that help readers visualize key concepts discussed in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
AN EXCELLENT MUST READ BOOK,
This review is from: Flying Jets (Hardcover)
If you are scratching your head and wondering whether this book is for you ---- let me tell you that I wish I had it BEFORE I started flying jets! The author does a great job of explaining everything that you need to know and she does so in a step-by-step way that allows your to grow into the information.
