Aircraft Performance Theory for Pilots

The new European Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) lay down safety rules for every public transport flight on matters concerning weight, altitude and temperature; takeoff and landing distance; cruise flight level and speed; descent angle and rate. These topics are examined as 'Aircraft Performance' and are an important part of all Flight Crew Licensing examinations for commercial and airline transport pilots licences. This new textbook provides a clear, simple guide to what many find a difficult subject.
