Basic Gas Turbine Theory reading meterial
 

Hey guys this is my first post on here, I am currently studying my Diploma in Aviation in New Zealand and so far is going perfect. I have decided to take on some extra work and self study towards the Basic gas turbine exam done through ASL, I was wondering if anyone has any good advice on the proper reading material for the exam, all i seem to have found so far is related to the states. Thanks in advance for the advice

'Aircraft Gas Turbine Powerplants' by Jeppesen - one of the best covering the theory aspects and also one of the main reference books for the NZ BGT. 'The Jet Engine' by Rolls Royce is also a colourful book with lots of illustrations and explains some things from a different angle but is not as in-depth. Those two books and a copy of the list of topics covered in the exam would be an excellent place to start.

Thank you very much for your quick reply!! I will look into these books you have suggested.

The Turbine Pilots' Flight Manual.

CR-ROM included with some good lessons.

You could also Google Basic Gas Turbine Knowledge by Mark Woodhouse. Written by a NZ pilot but it may not go as deep as you want.

PM me your email and I will send you some stuff

Hi notaplanegeek, could you pm me your stuff aswell..

Gas Turbine Performance by P.P.Walsh & P.Fletcher has comprehensive coverage of the subject.

Does anyone still have access to the old Bob Guard BGT notes? It's been so long since I even thought about those I no longer have any idea if I've given them away or where to start looking for them if I haven't! They were really good -especially as Bob wrote the ASL BGT exam in those days! He was an interesting character too... either pilot or co- on the SafeAir flight that witnessed strange happenings along the Kaikoura coast many years ago.

Possibly a stupid question, but is conducting a BGT course compulsory before doing an endorsement on a turboprop aircraft? If so, who offers these courses?

I like Oxfords Gas Turbines Computer based training dvd

OATmedia Products


Lots of videos and diagrams make it easy to understand

Depends where you are on Earth? In New Zealand yes, In Australia no.
