Best Book, look no further
Hi,
I know aircraft performance very well, and if your prepared to trust me, the best performance book on the market today, in an easy style read with good pictures is the one from Atlantic Flight Training. It has a picture of a Cheetah (animal) on the front. It was written by Jacqui Suren who I can also say is a very good lecturer, a goddess dare I say. This book deals with what you need to know for the exams, i dare you not to understand what is written.
However, I hear that there might be some competition for this book

Performance A
I might start a SSTR....
I have a CAA CPL, (JAA) and at the time, I did not take the "performance A" test. Will I need it in order to start a Type Rating and then to work on a airline (B737) Is it mandatory? nobody told me at the time...
Thank you in advance!!

Hi Gerald!
I JUST posted a very similar thread, at the same time as you have, about perf A.... :-)
It is an exam you take about performance of big jets.
For multi engine propeller aircraft, you take performance E.
At least as far as I know, in the UK CAA.....

If you do not have Perf A, you do therefore now need "JAR Performance" exams.
You can no longer take Perf A, but either of these exams are required for all initial Multi-pilot type ratings.

Cheers!
I will gladly sit that exam, I think it is good stuff to go though....
Hopefully I will be able to sit it in Spain, so I donīt have to travel to England... as it is all JAA now. I just sent an email to the CAA....
thank you again!

Performance A training?
Hi,
Where can I find a school that gives JAA "Performance A" Training. There is a company in eastern Europe that will hire me without a JAA ATPL, but I need to have this training. I've googled and searched some european flight school sites, but can't even find what this course is. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Performance A
An Old CAA Exam based on the L1011.
You used to do Performance exam for the Class of aircraft you flew. So Perf E for example.
If you want to fly a Multi engine jet (Performance Class A) and you have a CAA Licence issued without having passed Performance A you need to do the JAA Performance Exam. This Includes the MRJT, MEP and SEP of CAP 698.

Still Unclear
Thanks for the reply Whiskey. Here's my deal: I have an FAA ATPL and am typed on the CL-65 (CRJ), my only jet type rating. The company flies A320's and specifically asks for Performance A on the posting. I don't have any CAA ratings, as a matter of fact, I'm unclear as to what it even stands for. Where do I look for this training?

Performance A for ICAO
Does anybody know what the Performance A for ICAO license holders is? Or have any information on it, I tried looking it up but had trouble finding any information, dont know if im searching right.
Thanks, best regards.

Performance A I believe used to be the term used by the UK CAA to mean aeroplanes that could fulfil a specific climb performance with an engine failure at V1.
It's now referred to as JAR 25 and the equivalent in the FAAs is FAR 25. Australia's equivalent is CAO 20.7.1b.
I believe you cannot study for Perf A any more, it's now incorporated into the wonderful ATPL exams.
