Revised 2008 edition!
Back in print for the first time in over a decade! Fully revised and updated!
The ultimate book on aircraft engine operation, Fly the Engine takes you through
all phases of engine operation, showing you how to spot engine discrepancies on
preflight; how to start a hot, cold, or flooded engine; how to troubleshoot a
rough runup; when (and when not) to lean the engine for all phases of flight;
how to recognize valve sticking; and much more. Every chapter of Fly the Engine
brims with hands-on advice, told with wit and style by one of aviation's most
respected authors. Hailed as a modern-day classic when it first appeared in
1993, Fly the Engine is a goldmine of engine wisdom: essential reading for any
pilot, of any skill level.
Aero-News Network said this about Fly the Engine:
"One of the best and most concisely written books we ever read was none other
than former TBO Advisor Editor Kas Thomas' "Fly The Engine." Easy to read,
well-detailed, long on insight and short on BS; FTE was a book that we thought
EVERY piston pilot should keep no farther away than arm's length..."
by Kas Thomas, Former Associate Editor of The Aviation Consumer. Founder of
Light Plane Maintenance.

Fly The Engine
by David from El Cajon CA USA
Pros: Explains what you need to know to be a better pilot...
Cons: Haven't found anything about it that I didn't like...
Review: Excellent book about engines!!! The same principles can be used in learning more about auto racing engines... Most books like this put me to sleep.. This one has the information that I want to learn and puts it in a manner that keeps my interest, therefore keeping me awake.
