Aviation book
Hi all,
Not sure in wich forum to ask this question, will give it a try here:
A while ago I saw a book written by I believe a SAS captain, dealing with meteorology, winter ops, climb gradients ...
Unfortunately I forgot the book's title and author, but I know you can order it from a small publishing company in Sweden.
Anybody knows this book or can point me in the right direction.
Much appreciated!

Have a try on the "transair pilot shop" site, they are proposing a lot of publications,...could be a initial track..

I think you are looking for the book called something like: "from takeoff to landing".
The one I am thinking of has a duck which has just landed and skidded in the snow on the front page as well as several cartoon drawings inside with Laurel and Hardy flying LR 23s and Mad Dogs....
I too have found that book very good and a must read, if you dont feel like reading the original documents yourself (and who rellay do that)...the only problem is that it can be very difficult to get hold off...

edit:
"Olle Åkerlunds" is the guy who wrote the book, not a very common name you should be able to find the book by googling his name....

If you'er already a pilot and converting to jets---I recommend the following as must reads--
1. Handling the big jets --D.P Davies
2.FAA --Pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge
3. FAA --- Airplane flying handbook
4-- Caveat--not everything applicable to other countries---FAA-- instrument procedures handbook---
also perhaps FAA Aircraft Weight and Balance handbook
and
learn to use the CR-3
between those three booklets there's everything you need to know

If your Swedish is up to it, KSAB is about the only place on the 'Net to have it. Of course, this is the perfect chat-up line to get someone Swedish to help you with the translation

“From Takeoff to Landing” was a private publication written by Olle Akerlind for SAS. It was an excellent pilots guide to PANS-OPS and TERPS. I have a well thumbed English language copy.
A limited licensed reprint (fewer risqué sketches) was undertaken by Honeywell (drafted by Olle) as their contribution to ALAR - in English. In addition to Honeywell, some of the major manufacturers had a few copies for distribution. I don’t believe that there are any more copies from these sources, but I have seen an unofficial scanned copy.

I found this book on a website (unfortunatley I cann't for the life of me remember which one :-( ) and it said "From Take Off to Landing" has been been reprinted together with another book,from that series, and is now entitled "Instrument Flight Procedures and Aircraft Performance" ISBN 91-976000-0-8 by Olle Arkelunds and Hekan Ortlund; was available in English. Hope that helps.

I have a copy of "From power ON to power OFF" which sounds very similar. The frontispiece states that it is an overview of basic JAR-Ops peformance criteria. I have his copy issued by SAS (in English) ISBN 91-631-4563-4.
I can send you a publisher and email address via PM if required.
