Books
Hi Folks!
Do you have any favourite aviation books for engineering, testing, wx, wannabees etc...? I'm making a best of aviation books list for beginners to profs. Hear you on the frequency, and many happy landings in 2004!!! pilot007 |
There's a couple that spring to mind. For the new wannabe, i would recommend:
Flying the Big Jets, by Stanley Stewart Emergency, by Stanley Stewart A bit more advanced would be: Handling the Big Jets by Davies For those preparing for the ATPLs, I would say: Jet Engines by Klaus Hunecke Mechanics of Flight by A.C. Kermode |
My fav books for the PPL were
THE AIR PILOTS MANUAL VOL 1-5 GROUND STUDIES FOR PILOTS VOL 1-4 FROM THE GROUND UP Still working on my CPL!! Wishing you all A PROSPEROUS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Cheers Dreamflyer |
Thx Guys...!
Beside those books for PPL/CPL/ATPL students - I'm also looking for more detailed books for "aerospace engineering students and pros". Maybe we have a few Engineers like FTEs (=Flight Test Engineers) among us? pilot007 __________________ Keep the blue side up! |
Flight Dynamics Principles by MV Cook (great intro text)
Aircraft stability and control by Babister (written by and for TPs and FTEs) Helicopter Test & Evaluation by AK Cooke & EWH Fitzpatrick (written by ETPS guys) Aircraft Control & Simulation by Stevens & Lewis Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems by Franklin, Powell et al. Fundamentals of Aerodynamics by Anderson (the only text you'll need for all your aerodynamic needs) pretty damn expensive though... |
Climatology for Airline Pilots by Quantick looks an interesting read but I am not paying 35 quid for a book.
