The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual: Includes Aircraft Systems CD-ROM

I am currently transitioning from my previous career as an Army aviator flying helicopters to a career with the airlines. This book is a terrific aid in understanding the differences and realities of high speed and highly technical flight.The systems and advanced avionics sections are phenomenal! They are generalized in order to apply to as many aircraft as possible, but really explain well how they operate and how you will interact with them.My favorite part about the book is that the authors write it in an easy to understand manner. They do not write in an overly complicated technical manner, but rather at a level that a new or transitioning professional pilot can understand. They don't baby talk to you either. It's just right.Big Kudos and a must buy!!

This book is the consumate soup of all of the most important things you need to know before you go into ground school at a regional or major airline.It was written by airline pilots who still remember how overwhelmed they were when they sat through their first aircraft systems ground school at their respective airlines.I consider it mandatory reading before you consider setting foot in a flight simulator or airline ground school.Bravo!

The book was probably written for those folks who will transition in the the turbine world, perhaps a King Air, Citation Jet, or even a heavy metal. The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual is very easy to follow, a 5th grader can read and understand the materials enclosed, yet there is so much information. This book is a must reading for anyone who plan to transition from the piston world to the FL180 club.

It was EASY to follow! A must read for all piston engine pilots BEFORE attending a ground school. I wish I had read this manual before my first ground school (which I scraped through by the skin of my teeth). Mr. Brown or Mr. Holt should have been the instructor!At times, I thought they could have added more information to the manual, but it would have made it more difficult to follow. Brown & Holt made it as easy as ABC!

Outstandingly good book. Provides wealth of information in an understandable way. The illustrations are clarity itself. Cannot praise this book enough. One page and 20 seconds of thought over it told me more than three days of trying with other sources. I'm sure it will help others, like it helped me. If you are new to the turbine a/c - this book is the wy to go. My sincerest thanks to the authors!
