| Summary: | The Turbine Pilot"s Flight Manual provides the only complete, understandable "how things work" explanation of turbine aircraft. It is intended for pilots graduating to more sophisticated aircraft and pilots wanting to review or learn the basics of turbine engine flight. It offers a complete description of turbine aircraft engines and systems, covering turboprops and jets; additional chapters on important related topics such as high-speed aerodynamics, multipilot crew coordination, wake turbulence, and high-altitude weather; coverage of "pure jet" operations, large aircraft systems, and other data needed by experienced pilots for review prior to recurrent, upgrade, or transition training; and explanations, intended for ex-military "jet jockeys," of civilian flight operations, aircraft, and systems as well as turboprop and multipilot operations and transition training. |
