Humm........Pete Swatton currently of PPSC?
Ex ETPS performance and dynamics guru ............ the mans a walking computer in my opinion, mind you the lectures left me brain dead. If its edited well, it would most likely tell you all you would ever need to know.
cheers

PJ Swatton, I've never met the bloke,but bought his book last year as recommended by one of our TRIs. An excellent book that proves to be an invaluable reference on this rather heavy subject.- Not exactly bedtime reading unless you suffer from insomnia. It sits on the shelf amongst the other well thumbed publications- 'Handling the Big Jets' and 'Bill Blufer's FMC guide'. I'll recommend it to any professional aviator.

Pete Swatton - admirable guy, really knows his stuff, puts it across well, and tells truly awful jokes.
I also recall him in the classroom @ PPSC shouting out as one student passed the door:-
"They shouldn't allow bloody fishheads in here!"
