Customer Reviews For The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual: Write a review

Monday, October 17, 2011 by Earlyriser from Valencia CA USA  Pros: Informative, interesting, educational. Cons: I could use color pictures even if it meant raising the cost of the book. Review: It was awesome! Unique information only found in this book. Not especially complicated, but just not found anywhere else type of information! Thursday, July 09, 2009 Good read by Anton from Chicago IL USA  Pros: Easy read. Flow is good. Cons: None Review: The book is well written and specifically aimed at the wanna-be professional pilot transition to turbine engines, who has no previous training in this area. It has been helpful to me in understanding turbine basics, and everything that goes with flying bigger airplanes higher and faster. I would recommend this book.
