Flying The Big Jets: Flying the Boeing 777 (4th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating introduction on how to fly commercial airliners.
Review: This book is designed for two groups of people: pilots who desire to someday fly the 'big ones', and non-pilots who desire to someday fly the 'big ones'. The author provides an introduction to each of the major systems of a large commercial aircraft, and explains how flying large jet airliners is different from flying smaller piston or turbine powered airplanes. The author has taken a potentially very difficult subject and made it fairly easy for the novice pilot (or aspiring pilot) to understand. A very interesting book well worth reading, and a must have for all you 'wannabe' airline pilots. (This is a review of the first edition).
