Books to study

[flyboyzz1]

I feel an interview in my kind of near future. What are some books to start looking over to get ready? Any suggestions?

 

[FmrFreightDog]

nevermind.....

 

[flyboyzz1]

yeah dont know what you said (guessing it wasn't useful?) but im just wondering if anyone found something more useful than others.

 

[Terrain Terrain]

what airline?

XJt Skywest

 

[Cavpilot]

Check out Flying the Wing. It is a great book. A little old but the principles don't change.

 

[Terrain Terrain]

skywest:

ATP
far/aim (inst stuff, and the whole aim)
asvab (or whatever its called, check it out at yout library) just the mech app
avit weather books
aerodynamics stuff

sorry if I didnt give names of books, if your this far along, I am sure you have a bunch of these allready.

 

[CrownandCoke]

there's a book called Checklist for Success. It focuses on the HR portion of the interview. I also recommend the Turbine Pilots Flight Manual. Lots of stuff there on high speed aerodynamics and wing design. Hope this helps. Good luck

Airline Pilot Technical interviews and checklist for success

 

[Prop2Jet]

You can find this at amazon.com "How to cope with screw-scheduling: a pilots account" and also "How to fly airplanes with numerous MELS and sub-standard pay" Edition 2.

You may also want to reference, about after your first year on the job, "How to change careers and make more money so you can eat." Vol.1

That won't do you much good at "Addy's"

 

[JRT123]

There is another book out there for pilot interviews. It's written by Irv Jasinski, called Airline Pilot Interviews. You can google it to find out more. I found his book more helpful than Cheryl Cage's.

That may have worked back then, but this is the 21st century. I suggest these moves for the gel, ipod, backpacking crowd. You'll be a hit on those FWA overnights.

Fly the wing.

 

[Motive Flow]

Find a set of Jepp charts to look over.
Also, read the Introduction section in the Jepp manual (lots of good stuff in there).

 

[pilotdiscretion]

Jeppesen publishes a book called "Instrument Procedures Guide". It's about 150 pages and is the most indepth publication about instrument flying in an airline environment I can find.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

FAA Instrument Flying Handbook

FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook

ATP Written Exam

AIM/FAR

Turbine Pilots Flight Manual

Jepp chart symbology


Study the gouges as well.
