This volume introduces the modern flight deck systems where the pilot's primary role is one of systems management rather than manipulation of the flight controls. The contents include:
1) Area navigation systems;
2) Flight instrument systems;
3) Flight management systems;
4) Automatic flight control systems; and
5) Warning and recording systems.
This volume clearly and simply explains the functions and modes of the flight director, autopilot, instrumentation and flight management systems on a typical complex flight deck. It is an invaluable foundation for subsequent conversion onto a specific type.
