Brush Up Knowledge

[Der_Fischmeister]

Gents,
im in search for Documents to basically Brush up all my Aviation -Knowledge.
Like,Climbsegments ,contamination etc..al the stuff maybe asked during an Interview)

Anyone?

it´s..THE Fischmeister!!!

I bought a book from Michael Grossrubatscher a few years ago (in English) for the same reasons. It's called Pilots Reference Guide and I have found it very helpful and informative. Sometimes it's even a bit too complicated and a simple pilot like myself can find himself a bit lost in some of the chapters....
I have quite a few good documents on performance, climb requirements, contamination, winter ops etc etc. PM email address if interested.

Hi,

just to mention a nice short video spots regarding the performance on T/O

Have a look to the proposed and free video on the web site of "Aviation Performance Group"..just google it...straightforward..

Nice Brush up to keep things where there should be..

A classic is "Handling the Big Jets" by D.P Davies.
Kind of a reference when it comes to interview questions often taken from it (CX, EK, and many, many others).

Also "Ace the Technical Pilot Interview" by Gary.V Bristow.

The differences between the two are that the first one is probably THE reference but this not a question and answer book.
The second one is purely questions and answers (similar to what can be understood from Handling the fatties ;)) but there used to be a few errors.

I would use both. One for the understanding it provides, the other one as quick way to go through questions.

Good luck for the interview "MaitrePoisson" :D :D

with AMEX on this one. Those two books combined will cover you.

Handling The Big Jets is full of errors which they didn't bother to correct in subsequent prints. I threw mine out.

.....only because there aren't enough pics in it for you Flinster. I like the photos of the "latest" 747-100's on offer from the Boeing Aircraft Company!

[Flintstone]

I thought yours had pictures like this?

Handling The Big Jets is full of errors ...

So is "Ace the tech. Interview", but both are pretty good for brushing up general stuff.

Good luck.

Ace the Tech Interview, I think, is an excellent little book. OK, it has a few errrs in it. Topics are wide ranging, answers are short and to the point and it has pictures:ok:

I have also kept my old ATPL theory books (BGS in my case) and find them to be an excellent source of reference. I'm sure you can pick up a set of the Oxford, CATS (or any other) books on e-bay for a few quid....... orjust ask in the Tech Log forum :ouch:

[Der_Fischmeister]

So far so good ...maybe the Questions of the Books are interesting..myself i will match them with jar-Ops and type specific details written in manual .

I found "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot" very useful. It's easy reading with lots of humor thrown in. It really gets down to the point and no wasted time reading about stuff you don't really need to know. The author is Richie Langel. Highly recommended.

Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot - MyPilotStore.com (http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/3255)

I should add that the regulatory part of the book is aimed at flying in the US, but there's lots of general stuff too.

The problem with 'Ace the Technical Pilot Interview' is that it is often simply wrong. It is amazing that the book has remained in print for so long without being corrected. It is great for finding the sort of questions you might be asked, but do not believe the answers over your own knowledge or other more reliable sources!

Flintstone,

This is probably the first time I have disagreed with one of your normally wise comments on this forum. Handling the big jets is dated now and some of the content does not apply to modern aircraft because sytems interact differently. However if you flew the comet or early boeings it really was the bible. I still treasure my copy but then maybe my views are as dated as my handle. I still do not select full flap until I can make it as I do not have enough power to go around again, or is that just age.

The other thing I learned from a old and bold test pilot is that too much power is not enough!

MM.

Try as I might I can't really see where you are disagreeing with me. Clearly it's being done in a gentlemanly manner and too subtle for an oaf such as myself. Tonight I'll be going back over all your old threads to see if you've ever insulted me without my noticing that either ;)

Comet, eh? Here's a pint of 'Old Scrote Winter Warmer', tell us some stories.

[Miles Magister]

Flintstone,

Only that I did no think HTBJ was full of errors, but then maybe I am just judging what alot of errors is relative to my performance. So one could really make very many errors and it would probably still only be a few compared to mine!!!

Keep up the posts and I certainly do hope both your cabin service and food is better than BA's!!!

Regards

MM

Maybe I was a bit OTT with the word 'full' so I'll retract that part and as someone else said it's not a bad way of seeing if you're paying attention so long as you don't repeat things from it at interview without checking them at.

As for the BA/cabin service thing, I think the Right Honourable Slim has retired hurt ;)
