Wonderful guy, Wal ... we had him as an Industry lecturer at Sydney for the Aero course ... lovely dry wit, no-one ever thought about nodding off during his dissertations .. another good example of the value of having an operational background with the ops engineering work ..
Most of the stuff in the text is standard textbook material ... but purged of the niff naff which engineers tend to like .. so that the remainder is useful for pilots without too much of the maths ..
I have several copies from years past .. when I eventually enter total senility perhaps I should toss them to the first hands up in the sand pit ...
Boeing Jet Aircraft Performance manual .. you probably are thinking of the ops engineers generic training manual .. which is the working text for Boeing's performance engineering course .. generally need to be a customer or with a Regulator to get a place on the course. Been revised over the years but still one of the best texts around as it is focussed on the ops engineering side of things .. the only other way to get the info is to sift through a gazillion tech reports in the literature and the various standard aerodynamics texts ... and that's tedium to the nth degree ..
