Fly the wing (book)!
 

Hello,

Has anyone read "Fly the Wing" by James Webb? Would you recommend it? Thanks in advance!

It's one of the books every pro pilot should own (or at least read).

For those who care, Jim went "west" a couple of years ago.



------------------

Definitely worth a read. If DP Davies "Handling the Big Jets" is the book you read to get into an airline job, then Fly The Wing is the one you would read to pass your check-to-line. Get your hands on a copy if you can.

Full details are:
"Fly the Wing" Author Jim Webb

Found mine in a book exchange last year, AU$15!

Thanks for the replies people. I will order a copy from Barnes & Noble! I would appreciate anymore reviews anyone else would like to make. Thanks again!

It is the current reference for "performance"
Unfortunately it doesn't cover JAA ops performance which is being adopted under"harmonization" with the FAA.Jaa ops covers"wet" ops:reduced V1,15' screen heights etc.The criteria that Airbus and now Boeing(performance'B' package) must Certify their aircraft.Does anyone know of a JAA perf'reference(apart from the Boeing?FAA,sponsored"go/no go" supplemental training manual)
