About the Book

Newly updated to include coverage of modern cockpit automation and a thorough glossary of terms, Fly the Wing, Third Edition, provides pilots with valuable rules of thumb and proven techniques of all flight operations. If you're planning a career in aviation as the pilot of large commercial aircraft, this book will give you important insights that other books miss. Although directed primarily at the pilot who already holds commercial and instrument ratings, the book nevertheless provides fascinating reading for the pilots of small airplanes thanks to its realistic look at the problems that confront pilots of large airline-type aircraft. For the airline applicant and the potential ATR, this book serves as an invaluable reference. Written in an easy to follow conversational style, the book progresses from ground school equipment and procedures, to simulators, to real flight. Along the way, it covers the physical, psychological and technical preparation needed by pilots to acquire an ATP rating and to maintain the highest standards of performance. Although not intended to replace training manuals, Fly the Wing is by itself a course in advanced aviation. With lucid explanations and depth of coverage, this book is a full step beyond the normal training handbook. Pilots desiring additional knowledge in the fields of modern flight deck automation, high speed aerodynamics, high altitude flying, speed control, take-offs, and landings in heavy, high performance aircraft, will do well to read and retain Webb and Walker's outstanding book.
