Multi-Engine Flying
by Paul A. Craig
Pilot prep for FAA multiengine certification
Progressive transition from first time to advanced ratings.
Multiengine employment strategies.
Multi-Engine Flying, by Paul Craig is a thorough and complete training manual on multi-engine flight covering multi-engine aerodynamics, normal and emergency procedures, multi-engine performance, and both simple and advanced aircraft systems.
Advanced systems, including turboprop and operations common to high performance commercial aircraft are then discussed including high altitude operations, and modern glass cockpit systems. Finally is a suggested training syllabus including oral and flight exam preparation, changes in the Multi-Engine Practical Test Standards and multi-engine employment strategies.
From the Back Cover:
This is a complete guide to multi-engine flying, from the first time a pilot transitions into a two engine airplane through advanced ratings. single engine and multi-engine aircraft differ in many critical ways. Multi-Engine Flying covers every one in clear readable detail. Written with insight by a renowned educator, pilot, and aviation expert, this new 3rd edition additionally covers emergency procedures, advanced systems, and high altitudes with all the latest practical test standards. It prepares pilots for FAA tests with special emphasis on the technology, testing, and job market affecting multi-engine pilots and craft.
