A rating for multi-engine airplanes is a must for anyone wanting to be a professional pilot, and is a goal of many private pilots. But flying a twin is more than just adding another engine. The aerodynamics are different, the systems are different, the emergency procedures are different. Paul Craig's Multi-Engine Flying takes pilots through these differences and guides them to a safer level of flight. Any pilot moving up to a multi-engine rating must know the importance of torque, accelerated slipstream, side-slip, minimum control speed, and other matters particular to multi-engine aircraft. This volume expands on these and many other vital topics, and it can be used as a reference for pilots who fly multi-engine aircraft.

Be a Better Pilot (Practical Flying)

Engineering

"Multiengine maneuvers, systems, and aerodynamics are profoundly different from those in single-engine airplanes and, contrary to what most single-engine pilots believe, there are situations when a multiengine plane can be more - not less - dangerous than flight in a single." "First covering the fundamentals of multiengine flight, this book includes multiengine aerodynamics, takeoffs and landings, and engine-out procedures. It also includes the current FAA Multiengine Rating and Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards to help prepare you for the oral and flight exams." "The new Second Edition of Multiengine Flying not only helps you reach your goal of a multiengine rating - it prepares you for making sound, in-flight decisions that prevent problems and even accidents."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
