Jeppesen and Atlantic Flight Training have teamed up to produce these top quality ATPL training books with the philosophy of training pilots to fly - not just pass tests. The ATPL books are thorough and comprehensive, yet utilize full color graphics to make complex concepts easy to grasp.
Some topics include:
• Piston Engine
• Turbine
• Engine Construction
• Engine Systems
• Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
Powerplant covers the syllabus for the JAR-FCL 021 exam paper. This volume gives the reader an insight into the construction, function, and operation of both piston and gas turbine engines. For examination purposes, the engines as described are to be considered 'generic,' in reality each manufacturer will achieve the same objectives outlined in the text by different designs. Therefore, these notes equip the reader with the knowledge to undertake with confidence an engine manufacturer's course or type rating course which specializes in a particular design.
