A book that has very little to do with flying, but
everything to do with being a pilot - and the sort of training and
information you need after you pass your licence exams, but don't
always get, covering the practical and admin sides of flying
aeroplanes and helicopters. If you're a corporate pilot, with no
Public Transport experience to fall back on, but faced with
operating an aircraft without any help, this should be your first
operational reference. This book will be especially useful to all
Operations Staff, who often have to put themselves in a pilot's
shoes, such as when inspecting Pleasure Flying sites. It is an
updated version of The Professional Pilot's Manual,
originally published by Airlife in 1980. Aside from passing on a
few tricks of the trade, it's also a commentary on Operations
Manuals, since they never seem to be written in English. It covers
the Joint Airworthiness Requirements.
