Good material for AIR TRANSPORT Aircraft, Nov 5 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Avionics Fundamentals (Paperback)
This book does a GREAT job explaining MANY of the sytems found in Air Transport Category aircraft. It also does a very good job explaining the basic theory involved in many avionic systems, such as synchros, resolvers and flux valves. If the book were updated to cover some of the newer avionic systems, it would be the PERFECT book for an Avionics Fundamentals class!However, despite the picture of an Electronic Instrument System (EFIS) instrument panel on the cover, it has almost NO information about EFIS. It could also use MORE coverage about, ARINC 429 (the standard for digital busses on most aircraft) newer strapdown intertial systems (such as AHRS and IRS) as well as Flight Management Systems, and the newer integrated autoflight systems. The book does not have any coverage of COMMUNICATION systems (VHF Comm, HF Comm, ACARS and SATCOM) nor does it cover some of the newer navigation systems (such as GPS/GNS/GLONASS, Microwave Landing Systems and Windshear Detection systems). They can also ELIMINATE data on the Omega Navigation System, as it was deactivated in 1997.
Again, this is a GREAT book for the material that it does cover, but it would be an even better book if it were updated!

This review is from: Avionics Fundamentals (Paperback)
Technological changes in today's avionics have rendered this book obsolete.
