New Book: A Pilot's Guide to Aircraft and Their Systems

Believing the more you know about your aircraft systems the better you fly, author Dale Crane has written yet another informative book for pilots and armchair aviators, "A Pilot's Guide to Aircraft And Their Systems."

In the early days of aviation an aviator had to perform as both mechanic and pilot because the airplanes and engines were less than completely dependable. Technological advances in aircraft design have made them more reliable yet have added complexities that demand the aircraft be operated in exactly the way the designer intended, in order to achieve peak performance and safety. To do this, pilots must understand what each handle or knob controls and what they can expect from each system-this is as true for the Cessna 150 pilot as it is for the Citation operator.

Dale Crane has been involved in aviation for over 50 years as a mechanic, pilot, engineer, FAA examiner and aviation writer. His book provides explanations and insight into everything from basic principles of flight to what the aircraft, powerplant, and each of the systems do. But most importantly, 'A Pilot's Guide to Aircraft and Their Systems' will help pilots enjoy their flying and make them safer and more efficient aviators.

A Pilot's Guide to Aircraft and Their Systems may also serve as an introduction to the ASA Aviation Maintenance Technician Series, also by Dale Crane-textbooks for in-depth study of exactly how aircraft systems work and how to maintain them. The indexed and illustrated softcover book has 320 pages and retails for $19.95.
