Aircraft Systems For Professional Pilots from Peter Vosbury and William Kohlruss of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University covers all airframe and engine-related systems that are required for an aircraft to be operated effectively, efficiently, and safely by the flight crew. This book is intended for individuals who are learning to fly with their goal being a career as a pilot in corporate, commercial, or military aviation or for the already professional pilot who wants a review of how systems work.A commercial airline pilot instinctively knows that their airplane has a hydraulic system, but they may have forgotten the details of what type of pump is used and how the pump works. This book will provide all those details.The systems discussed cover everything from small airplanes like a Cessna 172, to large commercial airliners like a Boeing 787.
Newly revised and comprehensive information on aircraft gas turbine powerplants and updated coverage of jet engine technology. Extensive cross-reference between today's aircraft and engines. Now includes over 500 illustrations, charts and tables. Written by Otis and Vosbury. ISBN# 0-88487-311-0. 514 pages.
Developed by and for the aircraft powerplant section at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, this is a most comprehensive textbook on modern gas turbine engines for the A&P or EASA B1 student who wants a focus on turbine powerplants; exceeding both A&P and B1 standards.With over 500 illustrations, charts, and tables; you will find comprehensive information on the theory of gas turbine engines as well as extensive coverage of all turbine sections, systems, and types, as well as their practical application in a variety of aircraft including helicopters, turboprops, and APUs up to the largest transport-category airliners.The Aircraft Gas Turbine Powerplants Workbook includes a series of carefully prepared study questions matching each chapter.
