This money-saving bundle includes both the softcover book and ASA eBook PDF.
This new Second Edition of The Pilot’s Guide to the Airline Cockpit (previously titled, The Pilot’s Guide to the Modern Airline Cockpit),
introduces you to the fundamentals of today’s airline cockpit before
you enter training at an airline company. Whether it is a turboprop, a
regional jet, a Boeing, or an Airbus, most every airliner in operation
today contains a flight management system, and autopilot, and other
glass-cockpit systems. These systems represent a gap between the skills
you learn during your general aviation experience and the skills you
will be expected to have when you begin your airline flying career. This
book will give you a head start on bridging that gap and acquiring
those necessary skills.
Unlike the typical “systems” manual, The Pilot’s guide to the Airline Cockpit
places you in the left seat and takes you step-by-step through a
challenging line flight. It teaches about the airline cockpit in terms
of what you already know as a commercial multiengine instrument pilot.
You will learn how to use the flight management system and autopilot to
plan and follow an assigned route. You will learn to deal with realistic
enroute scenarios such as vectors, intercepts, holds, diversions, late
descents, and many others. Along the way, you will learn how to decide
which automation features to use and when, the limits of the
automation’s capabilities, how to monitor the progress of your flight,
and remain in-the-loop while the automation performs its work.
This book is essential reading for anyone who has aspirations to fly for
an airline
