Hi Colegues,

i just finished reading Stanley Stewart's "Flying the big jets" and
i really enjoyed it! Excellent book!
Are there more books like that you could recommend or does
somebody know the website of a good online store to look at?!!

Thanks in advance!

Try "Handling the Big Jets" by D.P. Davies. He was a certification pilot with the ARB. The book is about 30 years old, but still very relevant, and readable. For a bookstore try Transair (don't know the website, but I'm sure a search engine would get you there)

I scanned through Stewart's new edition (777) in a library and it did seem like a good read. The earlier version was good too (747 mostly).

Davies' book is just ATPL stuff - pretty dry stuff; good revision for a wannabe before his first interview I suppose.
