Flying the Big Jets by Stanley Stewart

£18.99

This book presents the facts that people want to know about the world of the big jets. How long is the take-off run at maximum weight? How much fuel is carried on a transatlantic flight? How do the radios work? What aircraft maintenance is required? How often are the tyres changed? What is the life syle of a pilot? The answers to these and a thousand other questions are given in sufficient detail to satisfy the most inquisitive of readers. You are taken from the basics of the big jets to the sophistication of the 'glass cockpit' in preperation for the pilot's seat on a Boeing 777 flight from London to Boston. In this book you can study the every-day working environment of the modern long haul pilot - monitor the take-off, listen to the radio reports, view the weather above the clouds and follow the descent into Boston. Hard. 292 pages.
