Fly the Engine (Kas Thomas)

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.

Excellent
by JK from Seattle 

Review: ....wish I would have read this book 45 years ago!

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
by Mario from Pittsburgh PA USA 
Review: I fly a Mooney Acclaim aircraft which is equipped with a twin turbo, twin intercooled TCM IO-550-G motor. It was important to learn how to manage the power settings in order to assure engine longevity. The POH has scant information relevant to ground operations, maintenance and proper leaning procedures. Kas Thomas's book is very informative and has helped me to better understand and manage the power plant of my precious aircraft.

buy this book if you fly high performance planes

Tuesday, November 17, 2009
by michael from Bakersfield CA USA 
Pros: The book brings useful and contoversial information to the light of day. It takes a stance on operational methods that are often debated. No flim flam, just here it is, like it or lump it.
Cons: I would have liked to heard more about IO 540's just because they seem to be everywhere.
Review: A very logical synopsis of the internal combustion engine as seen through the eyes of a person that has taken the time to do his homework and pay attention.

Excellent Book
by Arthur from Prescott AZ USA 

Review: Loads of information important to every pilot but barely covered in pilot training. A must read for every pilot flying recips.

I'll never fly the same again
by Austin from Newcastle WA USA 

Pros: Made me a safer pilot
Cons: I didn't read it earlier.
Review: Read this, It will change how you preflight, fly and postflight. I read it twice in a row and carried it around for three weeks showing CFI's and AP's thing's I'd learned and quizzing them. I learned, three ways other than the CHT to adjust Mixture, What is the main cooling/heating control in the plane, and when should you lean prior to takeoff other than at high altitude. Definitely a must read before your commercial rating. Also, notably, it's actually fun and interesting to read, really an engaging book.

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.
