What you need to know about how your airplane works.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful book!,
By Mary Al (Montreal, Qc) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aircraft Systems (Paperback)
This book is well written, very informative and funny; the author uses his own (sometimes hilarious) experiences to make information unforgettable. He goes deep in some subjects like electric circuits, windshield, ELT battery, strobes light, ect. It makes you feel like a mechanical or a aircraft owner who knows every little part of your airplane. If you are a pilot, this is a great complement to your formation. I use this book for commercial studies and I bought also Advanced Aircraft Systems.

This book has lots of information on airplanes. I'm not a pilot , but I like this book because it's well written. If you fly your own airplane, get this book.

Excellent reference for the aircraft owner,
By J. Sena - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Aircraft Systems (Paperback)
As a new aircraft owner, I am trying to learn as much as I can about my aircraft. This book is well-written and easy to understand. Although not everything in it relates directly to my plane, all the information is valuable in understanding aircraft systems.This book has taught me many things that were never covered in my training, and reinforced those that were. I highly recommend this book to both aircraft owners and renters. Knowledge is power and will help keep you safe. |
