This book introduces you to the fundamentals of the automated 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 learned during general aviation training and 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 multi-engine 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. Updated to catch up to a few newer practices, this Second Edition is essential reading for anyone who has aspirations to fly for an airline--it is the ideal companion as you transition from general aviation to regional jets, and then to larger transport-category airplanes.

The Pilot's Handbook is an illustrated how-to guide of procedures, operations, communications, and reference for all general-aviation pilots. This convenient, cockpit-handy manual features in-depth and specific procedural descriptions intended for reading on the ground, and checklists on heavy tabbed section dividers for use in the air. Hundreds of full-color illustrations illuminate the explanations, and a spiral binding allows for folding over or full opening. It includes descriptions of airports and airspaces, flying into and from Class B and Class C airports, uncontrolled-airport procedures, communications and radio failures, approach briefings including effective use of Jeppesen and FAA charts, and problems and emergencies. Divided into VFR and IFR sections, the latter is a guide to instrument clearances and procedures, including the common ILS, VOR and GPS, and also refreshers for the less frequently used NDBs, DME arcs, procedure turns and course reversals, and holds.

This introduction to the new generation of airplane cockpit automation, now prevalent in general-aviation aircraft, provides common-sense instructions and illustrations for each step of an actual flight—from preflight, taxi-out, takeoff, cruising, descent, and landing. Autopilots, GPS navigation systems, and other colorful “glass cockpit” displays are examined as well as other modern technologies found in late model aircraft; particular emphasis is placed on the Garmin G430. Ideal for both self-study and classroom use, each chapter ends with a practice session that can be used in a simulator program or at a local flight school. The accompanying 30-minute DVD further reinforces the new material by demonstrating each skill as it pertains to specific flight scenarios.
