What you need to know about how your airplane works. Focused on practical value
to the pilot, Aircraft Systems takes you on a thoroughly illustrated tour of
the systems that make your plane work, giving you step-by-step procedures and
troubleshooting tips that improve safety and cut risk, no matter what the situation.
Pilot/mechanic David A. Lombardo, author of Advanced Aircraft Systems, presents
crucial information on systems in single- and light twin-engine planes. No matter
what page you turn to, you'll find fully
illustrated, system-by-system information that will help you: make better piloting
decisions both in the air and on the ground; avoid risk with a better understanding
of preflight inspections; troubleshoot in-flight problems and handle emergencies
in any system; cut costs with better maintenance, improved communication with
mechanics, and correct choices in engine overhauls; recognize and
overcome bad interactions between systems; improve interpersonal relationships
with passengers and crew. Full of life-saving information, from the anatomy
of a tire, to emergency electrical system failure load shedding, Aircraft Systems
delivers the critical, confidence-building guidance that you'll rely on every
time you enter the cockpit.
