This book is a must-have for the
prospective airline pilot. The book describes basic and generic
systems and then goes on to describe specifics of the B757 and B767. Of
particular note is the emphasis on mode annunciations and operation of the
AFDS and FMS. Whatever type you hope to fly in
the future, reading this book will improve your awareness of system
limitations and operating techniques and philosophies.

take you to the book on the Amazon website. Please note the book is
now published by a different company and may be listed differently.. the
link on the Amazon site will send you the correct book.
We recommend
this book to accompany the Jetlinx MCC course since it describes the AFDS
and FMS found on the B757/B767. Read in conjunction with the Jetlinx
Flying Manual as pre-course study to gain as much as possible from the
course.

Every airline pilot should have
this book in their bookcase. Ideally you should have it before
interview for any company. Emphasis is
made of the differences between large transport and smaller propeller
driven aircraft. You can almost guarantee a thorough read of this book
will help pass the technical examination or interview for your first job.
Can you really
remember why a jet aircraft needs swept wings or why Jet engines are more
efficient at altitude?.... remember, the interviewer read the same book.
YOU
NEED THIS for
the rest of your career. |

Don't confuse this book with "Handling
the Big Jets" This is a condensed ATPL course for the
layman... however you will find it a good reference to kickstart
your hazy memory of the ATPL syllabus. In addition, the
section on following a flight from A to B will give you an insight into
operation as a Multi-pilot crew on a modern airliner.
This book has
recently been updated to cover operation of the B777 |

A
study into the Human Factors that cause accidents and just why pilots make
mistakes
Synopsis- AMAZON
After landing safely back at the airport with a fire on board, no exit was
opened for 23 minutes and 301 people inside perished. Investigations into
the causes of aircraft accidents often focus on what happened and who did
it - but very rarely on why, which is the question the author addresses in
this book. He propounds that the cause should be sought deeper inside
human beings who make simple human errors rather than simply "pilot
error". David Beaty analyzes not only human error flying accidents,
but also the latest predisposing errors made by management and government.
This book was recommended in a House of Lords debate on aircraft safety. |

Psychometric tests
and questionnaires are now widely used to select candidates for
jobs. Tests also play an important role in staff development and
careers guidance as they provide objective and detailed
information on abilities, personality, values and interests. If
you want to improve your chances of getting the job you want by
understanding how tests work and what you can do to improve your
performance, this book should be helpful. It gives you advice
on: preparing yourself; dealing with nervousness; and facing any
test with confidence. It provides information on: the different
types of psychometric tests; what the questions look like; and
how to answer typical questions. There is also a special section
containing practice material from the UK's principal test
publisher. So whether you're about to take a test as part of a
job application or for careers development purposes, this text
provides an introduction. |

Increasing numbers
of employers are using verbal reasoning tests, which check
understanding and use of written English, as part of their
recruitment procedures. Lack of word power can stand in the way
of you getting a job, gaining promotion or being offered
training. Candidates who are familiar with testing and have
practised answering the type of questions set, within a fixed
time limit, stand a much better chance of success. This new
edition helps readers to understand how these tests are set and
marked, and gives guidance on preparation for them. It also
provides new practice material, with the answers, and
information on the following: Why do employers use such tests?
How are the tests scored? How can scores be improved? Based on
extensive research carried out by the authors, as part of their
work preparing candidates for the uniformed services and the
Civil Service entrance examinations, this book should prove
valuable to all job applicants. |
