This is more than an introduction to turbine and turboprop powerplants. It gives a step by step description of the operation and systems of business and light transport category aircraft from fueling systems, to flight management, to high altitude weather considerations. It contains a tremendous amount of knowledge suitable for anyone considering the jump to turbine class aircraft whether on a professional or private level. In addition, chapters are included helping a job applicant through the interview process typical of most regional airline and corporate flight departments.

An enclosed CD offers additional illustrations and animations, making understanding of complex devices and systems easier and clearer.

From the Introduction:
Whether you're a piston pilot preparing for turbine ground school, a transitioning military pilot boning up for that first corporate or airline interview, or an old pro brushing up on turbine aircraft operations, the Turbine Pilot's flight Manual is designed for you. With precision and a sense of humor, authors Greg Brown and Mark Holt cover all the basics, clearly explaining the differences between turbine aircraft and their piston engine counterparts. In addition, this manual addresses high speed aerodynamics, coordinating multipilot flight crews, wake turbulence, and navigating in high altitude weather. You'll be introduced to state-of-the-art cockpit instrumentation including flight management, heads-up guidance, and the principles of weather radar, lightning detectors, ground proximity systems, plus much more.
