From regional turbo prop to jet airline. Any good reading?
I am shortly making to move from turbo props onto jets. Any good books or manual to read up to give me a general understanding on some of the aerodyanmics, systems, engines etc I will be dealing with?
Not really looking for something too in depth, just something that when I deal with a similar system/egine etc I can at least have have a basic understnading of whats going on.

Nothing.
If you're flying a transport RPT t/prop (Dash/EMB/Saab/ATR) you should already have a good working knowledge of pressurisation/hydraulics etc.
Your going to be pretty busy when you start groundschool and you'll have no shortage of reading then so enjoy the spare time now. Don't try to get ahead of yourself. If you're really keen, try google for specific manuals for the type you'll be on rather than generic stuff.
Enjoy the upgrade.

Go to SmartCockpit - Airline training guides, Aviation, Operations, Safety and grab the FCOMs and the FCTM
Beware though that if you are going on to the A320 family, the FCOM layout changed significantly a few months ago and is no longer FCOM 1,2,3,4. The guts of the manuals are the same though.

Jet Transition
Beechie,
The FAA airplane flying handbook - chapter 15 (transition to jet powered airplanes) has just about all the background knowledge material that you will need to know, it will ensure that your initial jet type endoresment will make more sense, you will understand why it is flown that way, not just "monkey see, monkey do..". It is avaliable free off the net -just google it. Combine that with "handling the big jets" and you should have a good well rounded knowledge base to start from.
Have fun!
