Try drawing all the graphs on a computer !!

When I did CAPs 696, 697, and 698 many answers to CAA questions had to be revised because the new graphs were accurate compared with the old ones. I still have all of them stored on my machine.

Those in Peters' book are accurate, but you would have to be a pilot to be able to draw them.

Cheers.

The CAA paid me for the CAPs, but I did Peters' books for no charge since he's a friend and ex-colleague.

I know his publisher and as far as I know they only do normal scientific books.
I thought that Wiley did the Dummies guides etc - and a bit of googling shows they do. They're all available in e-versions.

...then from the front matter of Swatton's book: 'Wiley also publishes its books in a variety of electronic formats'.

Maybe there's hope? An e-version would be a great help, as others have pointed out.

Let's hope LM will report back with a positive spin after his lunch date.

Yes - we both were.

For anyone interested, Peters' performance book is not available in electronic format.

I'm the publisher, and just to prove that we listen to you guys I'm setting up the eBook for this which should go live in the next couple of weeks! Kindle, iBooks etc.

Meantime, google 'aircraft v1 swatton' and the first link thrown up takes you to the relevant pages for the clearest explanation you'll find this side of a flying school.

If ewillner doesn't come back, I'll probably be able to do that for you since I am in almost daily contact with Peter Swatton.

We just have to be careful that such posts do not constitute advertising.

Well that's true but then again its us that are asking for it.

I certainly don't have any contact or financial gain to be had out of him making it an ebook just glad that they have listened and are making it available so I can buy it.

If you two have a glass or two using the profits from my purchase that's fine by me. As I would more than likely buy you that anyway if I were to meet you.
